General Information
Lleiroso Crianza 2022 is made from Tempranillo grapes from low-yielding vines with an average age of 35 years cultivated in calcareous-clay soils at an altitude of 780 metres. It’s been aged for 12 months in French oak barrels and further matured in the bottle for 15 months.
Founded in 2001, Bodegas Lleiroso has always been committed to preserving its own vineyards as the basis for making wines that are deeply rooted in the terroir. It boasts exceptional wine-growing assets: 30 hectares of vines spread across Valbuena de Duero, Peñafiel and Pesquera de Duero, in what is considered the ‘golden mile’ of the production area, with illustrious neighbours such as Vega Sicilia.
Its philosophy is based on precision viticulture with yields well below the limits permitted by the local regulatory council, as well as manual harvesting in small crates, double sorting of the grapes, both in the vineyard and in the winery, and gravity-fed winemaking. All this makes Bodegas Lleiroso synonymous with quality in the D.O. Ribera del Duero.
Lleiroso Crianza 2022 is perfect with all kinds of meats, such as roast lamb or fillet of beef.
