Orube wines are elegant and refined in nature. The 2018 Crianza is a deep ruby colour. Fruit aromas of strawberry and blueberry are complemented by an herbal edge. This is a supple wine with a grainy texture. It has a linear structure with sour rhubarb flavours cutting through and leading to a fresh finish. Tempranillo was blended with 20% Graciano and 10% Garnacha, each vinified and matured separately. Different types of oak are matched to each variety and matured for 12 months. Only at the end of this period are the best barrels selected and the final assemblage made.
