The legacy of slow production

From the cherry red color to the scent of American oak.

Everything about this exceptional archival wine betrays its very slow, traditional production. The Urbina family isn’t in a hurry for their wine; they use traditional methods and give it the time it needs.

In the beginning are the traditional Tempranillo variety grapes. The winemakers let them macerate for 28 days, and then the wine rests for 12 months in an oak barrel. More years of aging give the wine depth and maturity. And now we can present it to you in its full glory.

Archival wine with the aroma of long-gone memories

The scent and taste of Urbina Crianza 2015 will carry you back to carefree times.

Imagine how your nose is tickled for the first time by the aroma of oak, vanilla, and white pepper. This is what Grandmother’s kitchen smelled like before she started baking. It’s followed by cherries, milky tones, and musk. The familiar, pleasant aromas of thyme, dill, and refreshing orange peel round it out.

Do you feel like drinking yet? Please. Warm notes of black currant spill over your tongue. A touch of spice: fennel, thyme, and dill. Refreshing acidity. And a pleasantly long finish.
