Siglo Saco Crianza 2012
Made with 3 grape varieties: Tempranillo gives fruity aromas of berries and vanilla, Manuela otherwise known as Carignan which gives body, spiciness and depth of colour and low yeilding Graciano gives you structure and intense aromatics. Fruity with a toasted wood and vanilla aroma acquired during cask ageing. On the palate it's full, elegant and velvety smooth with good body. Perfect served with lamb or beef, especially on the barbecue.
Established in 1881, the winery is in Fuenmayor, Rioja Alta, with generations of winemaking tradition. Great grandson of the founders, Head Winemaker Javier Garcia says “Siglo Saco is the winery’s symbol across the world. It is aged until it attains a fine array of aromas mingling with the soft nuances of barrel ageing. The wine stays in American oak barrels for a year before being bottled. It is then aged for at least another six months in our cellars.”
