General Information
Carramonte Crianza 2022 comes with the guarantees of a vintage with an Excellent rating in Ribera del Duero, and was grown in Tempranillo vineyards located in Boada de Roa, in the heart of Ribera del Duero. These vines, 30 years old on average, were harvested by hand. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and a further 12 months in the bottle, this is an excellent red wine that you’ll only find at Vinoselección.
The appearance of Bodegas Viyuela in 2003 brought a breath of fresh air to the well-established D.O. Ribera del Duero. It was founded by José Ángel González Viyuela, a native of the Burgos municipality of Boada de Roa who hails from a family that’s been cultivating vines for generations. Since their first launch on the market, Viyuela’s wines have enjoyed prestige and a good reception, winning awards both nationally and internationally. In the last five years, the winery has undergone a revamp that has further strengthened its reputation as a leading name in the D.O.
Carramonte Crianza 2022 (D.O. Ribera del Duero) is ideal for pairing with dishes such as meat and potato stews.
Creators' opinion
An excellent wine, impressive when young, elegant when mature. Bright colour, intense garnet hues, prolonged youth. Black berries and ripe fruit in harmony with spicy notes, a balsamic touch and an extremely enticing floral background which is highly personal. Intense and fleshy attack with smooth tannins and an enveloping, silky mouthfeel. Fresh and full finish.
The winery
Bodegas Viyuela was founded by José Ángel González Viyuela, a native of Boada de Roa (Burgos) and a member of a family linked for generations to vine cultivation, mainly in the municipality of Pedrosa. After years dedicated to viticulture, in 2003 José Ángel González Viyuela decided to undertake a sophisticated project focused on quality within the framework of the D.O. Ribera del Duero. He currently remains at the helm of Bodegas Viyuela as President, while his daughter, Laura González Sainz, serves as General Manager.
Bodegas Viyuela relies on 23 hectares of its own vineyard of the tempranillo variety -and 10 additional controlled hectares- to produce its two ranges: the Classic line (Viyuela Barrica, Viyuela Crianza, and Viyuela Reserva) and the Signature line (Viyuela 3+3, Viyuela 10, and Viyuela Xº Aniversario). Since its market launch, Bodegas Viyuela wines have enjoyed prestige and acceptance, earning numerous awards and medals, both nationally and internationally.
In 2019, Bodegas Viyuela was recognized by Mundus Vini as the best winery in Ribera del Duero.
