"The Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza 2015 reflects the warmer conditions of the year, and with the riper fruit they harvested to produce this wine, they still managed to maintain an alcohol level of around 13.5%. Cubillo's vineyard is more clayey and, sometimes, clay soils take the heat better and make the wines cooler than those from poorer soils." (Wine Advocate 2022). Fresh on the nose with licorice aromas, this wine reveals a silky, fresh and persistent palate. Ideal with tapas!
