Marques de la Carrasca Crianza

This is the spicy brother of the "friendly" Marqués de la Carrasca Tempranillo Shiraz, namely Marqués de la Carrasca Crianza. While the former is already described as spicy and powerful, this Crianza wine clearly surpasses it. Definitely not a wine for "just grabbing it," but a good glass to sit down and enjoy. Choo...

From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

This is the spicy brother of the "friendly" Marqués de la Carrasca Tempranillo Shiraz, namely Marqués de la Carrasca Crianza. While the former is already described as spicy and powerful, this Crianza wine clearly surpasses it. Definitely not a wine for "just grabbing it," but a good glass to sit down and enjoy. Choose your most comfortable chair and let yourself go. You'll experience the clear pinnacle of Spain, with Castilla La Mancha taking center stage, to be precise. You'll drift away while enjoying this wine. And the price? Unbelievable. We've rarely had the pleasure of tasting a wine with such an excellent price-quality ratio.

In the heart of Castilla La Mancha, just a short two-hour drive from Madrid, you'll find Bodegas Lozano – the parent company of Marqués de la Carrasca. This is one of Bodegas Lozano's greatest assets, considered one of the largest in the region. While many wineries have stood still in time and failed to evolve with the growing needs of consumers, Marqués de la Carrasca has always kept pace. This is remarkable, considering Bodegas Lozano is over a hundred years old. Yet, they continue to innovate and invest in their vineyards, ensuring their wines remain contemporary and modern – and that Dutch wine drinkers can continue to enjoy them!

Nothing is left to chance in the production process of Marqués de la Carrasca Crianza. It begins in the vineyards, where the Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Tempranillo grow under the most perfect conditions. After harvest and vinification, the juice is briefly aged in oak, giving Marqués de la Carrasca Crianza sufficient body and power. After the cellar master gives explicit approval, the bottle can leave the cellar, and we can enjoy its supreme quality. Quality abounds in Marques de la Carrasca Crianza. And all at a price that's almost unbelievable: there's so much to discover in this glass of Spanish wine. Wild blackberries, fragrant red fruit, and generous spices. But there's more, as soon as Marques de la Carrasca Crianza swirls through your glass: soft vanilla, spicy oak, and a distinct hint of cocoa. Perfectly paired with a good, hearty piece of red meat.
