Spanish Red Wine Finca Vallejo Crianza | C.V.N.E.

Overview

Finca Vallejo Crianza is a tribute to the legacy of the CVNE founding family and the enduring power of the vineyard. Crafted by Bela Winery in the heart of Ribera del Duero, this Spanish red wine is made exclusively from Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes grown at 800 meters altitude in Villalba de Duero, Burgos.

The unique combination of clay-limestone and sandy loam soils produces grapes with excellent structure and vibrancy. After a manual harvest, the wine undergoes both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. It is then aged for 12 months in a blend of American and French oak barrels, gaining balance, depth, and spice before bottling.

Elegant, fresh, and fruit-forward with silky tannins and oak complexity. This is a Crianza that speaks to the soul of Spanish winemaking.
