Balanced Crianza from the Torres family's Legaris estate at Curiel de Duero, with ripe red berry, cherry and cedar from 12 months in mixed oak in their gravity-fed winery.

What it pairs with

  • Roast chicken with thyme
    The wine's red fruit and cedar complement well-seasoned roast poultry.
  • Grilled lamb chops
    Classic Ribera match -- the wine's body and fruit handle lamb with ease.
  • Tortilla española
    Everyday red fruit register pairs well with the eggy potato omelette.

History

Legaris was founded in 2000 by the Torres family of Penedes in the Valladolid sector at Curiel de Duero. Their modern gravity-fed winery was designed to minimise pump-overs and handle fruit with care, with the Crianza showcasing the approach.
