Casa
de la Ermita Crianza 2001
Made primarily from the Spanish national grape of
Tempranillo, this is a wine with class. Nice cherry
colour with medium-high intensity core. On the nose
it is vanilla beans with roasted coffee and mocha.
Aged for 10 months in French and American oak, it
delivers complex layers of warm fruit and toast.
Firm tannin with a long and rounded finish.Great
equilibrium between fruit, acidity, tannin and wood.

MONASTERIO
DE SANTA ANA Merlot 2003
Bright ruby colour with cherry rim, the nose hits
you with an intense red fruit aroma and a touch
of vanilla beans. Full bodied with balanced structure
and satisfyingly smooth mouth feel. Aged in French
and American barrels, it is a well-made example
of the new style of Spanish red.
