Description

Antina Cabernet Sauvignon Tempranillo Crianza 2018

The Antina Cabernet Sauvignon Tempranillo blend from Tierra Castilla is a superb example of value wine from Spain. The region of La Mancha is not as sexy or regarded as Rioja or Navarra but this means that you can buy superb value for money wines from this region. Antina Cabernet Tempranillo is soft and fruity with complex blackcurrant and toasted oak characteristics in the background. Superb with most foods but especially good with tapas or to enjoy on it's own.

Casa Del Valle in La Mancha boasts an entirely new winery. The bodega is owned by a group of Riojan growers who between them have 3 decades of winemaking experience in Rioja, strong financial backing and the most advanced modern technology. The bodega is surrounded by 100 hectares of new vineyards growing the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah varieties, chosen for their great suitability for ageing and their well defined character.

Vinification
The different grape varieties were vinified separately in order to preserve the maximum character of each varietal. The Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in oak casks for 6 months in order to add depth and complexity to wine whilst the Tempranillo was stored in steel vats, prior to blending, in order to preserve the fresh fruit aromas.

Viticulture
The vines are grown in the Caliza Franco Arenosa soils of Castilla de la Mancha located around the village of Yepes, in the province of Toledo. They are trained using the Double Cordon Royat system and pruning is carried out by hand.

Tasting Note
Warm, earthy and mellow aromas with spice and ripe blackberry fruit with toasted wood in the background. Fruity and smooth.

Everyday Serving Suggestion
Good with grilled and roast meats.

FAQ'S

Can you explain your shipping charges?

We charge the amount the courier charges us to deliver the wines. In the majority of cases this is £10.00 for a dozen wines. For local delivery we charge £5.00 as we can often do this ourselves, by local we mean Milton Keynes.

Couriers charge by weight and size and a case of wines is both heavy and bulky and so the costs are fairly high. The charges are the same if you are buying 1 bottle or 6 bottles but they change if you go over 6 bottles due the the excess weight and size. Couriers also charge a fee to cover fuel excess and this all goes towards the total cost not to mention the 20% VAT to be added to everything.

Currently if someone orders a dozen wines they are charged £10.00 but if they order 24 bottles the charge is the same!

If you wish to have your wines shipped to other countries the costs are extreemly high and often not worth paying for. The cost for example to ship to the USA for a dozen wines would be £100.00 for the shipping alone! Therefore we have taken the decision not to ship any wines outside of the UK.

What is your minimum order?

The minimum order is 1 bottle! I prefer it if people order more and you get better value with the delivery if you do this too!

What if I want to send wine as a gift?

No problem, we will send to your preferred address and even include a card free of charge!

We have two kinds of cards a blank one and a Thank you one. However if you want a Valentines one or a birthday card or anyother type of card please let us know. We will write your personal greeting and even include the soppy stuff. We don't charge for the cards as its our way of thanking you for choosing us to send a gift to your loved one.

What about a discount?

I may be able to take a little off the price if you ask nicely and there is a large enough order. Please do not ask for a discount on any orders under 12 bottles. Email me with your requirements and I will let you know if I can do anything. However the best way to get a discount is to sign up for the newsletter as there is often special offers given away to newsletter subscribers.
