Product Description

Overview

Winery: Marques de Moral

Marques de Moral is a Crianza wine made from 100% Tempranillo grapes (locally known as Cencibel), with 6 months of barrel age in American oak "barricas".
Valdepenas DO's legislation requires only 6 month of Oak aging for Crianza level.
Aromas of strawberries and dried cranberries enhanced by obvious spiky American oak.

(aged for six months in American oak):  Dark red.  Cherry, cassis and coconut on the nose, with pipe tobacco and spice qualities adding complexity.  Modestly concentrated and pliant, offering sweet dark berry and cherry flavors complicated by bitter dark chocolate and vanilla qualities.  The vanilla note repeats on the finish, which is gently tannic and nicely focused.  Fans of oak will find my score low.-Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 88 Points

The Marques de Moral Estate

Marques de Moral is produced at the Bodega Félix Solís, Spain's leading producer of 750 ml bottled wine. This is a family operation founded in the 1950's with more than 26,000 oak barrels and an annual production of some 90 million liters.

The Marques de Moral Vineyards

The 500 hectares of vineyards are situated between Campo de Calatrava and Montiel in La Mancha province of Ciudad Real. This area is characterized by its gentle countryside, rolling plains and soft hills. The soil is rich in clayey and chalky soils. Scarce rainfall and extreme temperature differences between day and night contribute to a naturally healthy viticulture, giving low production and concentrated wines, that are rich and complex.
