Crianza

2012 Utiel-Requena 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Tempranillo

Mitos Crianza is a splendid red wine hailing from the Utiel-Requena region, showcasing a remarkable blend of fifty percent Cabernet Sauvignon and fifty percent Tempranillo. This exquisite 2012 vintage exhibits a medium body that provides a well-rounded mouthfeel, complemented by bright acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, with notes of dark cherry and ripe plum taking center stage, while hints of spice and tobacco add complexity. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, contributing to a smooth texture that enhances the wine's overall elegance. This Crianza is crafted to be food-friendly, making it a delightful pairing for a variety of dishes, and its dry character allows for an approachable finish that lingers pleasantly.

Spain

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.
