On the nose it boasts aromas of ripe red and black cherries, complemented by spicy nuances of liquorice, smoked meat and Mediterranean herbs. The palate marries power and elegance with an excellent concentration of berry fruit flavours and balance of flavour and acidity, all culminating in a lingering finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eUpon arrival at the winery, the grapes were rigorously sorted to ensure that only those in pristine condition made it into the wine. The grapes were then destemmed and partially crushed and transferred to temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for fermentation with regular punch downs. After this, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in tank and was then racked into oak barrels where it was aged for nine months. The barrels were a combination of French and American oak, with 50% new oak used, and 50% second use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK2\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eCountry: Spain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eRegion: Toro\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eVintage: 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eGrape Variety: Tempranillo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eABV: 14.5%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eSize: 750ml \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003eProducer:\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e Vetus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crushed \u0026 Cured","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55434370744696,"sku":null,"price":20.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6962\/3071\/files\/best-red-wine-tempranillo-spain.jpg?v=1769699347","url":"https:\/\/crushedandcured.co.uk\/products\/vetus-flor-de-vetus-tempranillo-spain-2021","provider":"Crushed \u0026 Cured","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
