The white wine Piedras de Cimbrón is the top-range product of Bodegas Félix Sanz, a producer with over 90 years of history and one of the driving forces behind the creation of the DO Rueda in 1980.
This varietal Spanish white wine is sourced from the oldest vineyards of Pago Cimbrón, a 30-hectare estate with cobble and sandy soils sitting at 750 metres of altitude, in an area with a harsh Continental climate. The vines are 70 years of age.
Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted, the grapes were fermented and kept for some months in egg-shaped concrete tanks. After that, this white wine from Rueda was transferred into 500-litre French oak barrels, where it was aged for about 24 months.
After bottling, the white wine Piedras de Cimbrón 2022 was kept for no less than a year in an underground cellar built in the XVth century.
Production around 7,000 bottles produced.
We suggest aerating this Crianza white wine before drinking.
