Winemaker Notes
Bright, cherry-red color. Intense bouquet with a refined trace of fruit and discreet toasted notes. Good structure in the mouth with mature fruit flavors that highlight its pleasant fullness. A superb Crianza from a vintage in which the winery's choice of vineyards was even more selective so as to extract in full the personality of the grapes.
Blend: 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha tinta, 5% Graciano

Plum and cherry aromas are riper than might be expected for a cool-vintage 2013 crianza. Chewy, drawing tannins lend grip to the palate that tastes of black plum, tea and dry spices. A bit of oaky chocolate is present on the finish.

In 1970, Enrique Forner founded Marqués de Cáceres Unión Vitivinícola S.A., a historic alliance of growers in the village of Cenicero in the Rioja Alta subregion of Rioja. The enterprising Forner family has been devoted to the wine trade for five generations. Their search for the best vine growers and vineyards in Rioja and the introduction of a Bordeaux concept revolutionized the production and business model of the region. They work with one single objective: producing the highest quality wines. Today this obsession continues to be the leitmotif of Cristina Forner, the fifth generation of this distinguished wine family.
