Crianza

2003 Alicante Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Laudum Crianza is a captivating red wine from the picturesque Alicante region, crafted from a blend of Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. This 2003 vintage presents a rich, deep crimson color that invites exploration. On the palate, it showcases a medium to full-bodied profile, balanced by a bright acidity that lifts its flavors and adds vibrancy. The fruit intensity is prominent, with luscious notes of ripe blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of tobacco and spice that reflect its carefully crafted aging process. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth, while the wine remains pleasantly dry, making it an elegant companion for hearty dishes or an indulgent evening on its own.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
