Tasting Notes

Siglo Crianza Seleccion is a superb blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. This warm vintage Crianza has Deep, Intense and a rich garnet colour. Rich Aromas of stewed fruits, dried prune, cinnamon, candied strawberries intermingled with toasty smoky oak aromas from the ageing in oak. The Mouthfeel is refreshing with well integrated ripe fruit flavours. Very easy drinking.
