Name: Celeste, Ribera del Duero Crianza, Torres

Celeste is the first Torres wine produced from this region, recognised as one of Spain?s finest. The wine, made from Tempranillo grapes, is aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling. Spicy, intense nose with liquorice and black pepper notes on a base of ripe blackberry and cherry fruit. The palate is concentrated and echoes the nose with plenty of ripe fruit, spice complexity and a full-bodied long finish.
