Creta is a carefully conceived project on which Finca Villacreces has been working for years, and is the result of the experience gained from working with some very special vineyards, situated in the highest part of the Ribera del Duero’s ‘Golden Mile’.
It comes from Valdelascuevas in Quintanilla de Arriba. It originates from a plateau opposite Finca Villacreces, at an altitude of around 900 metres.

100% Tempranillo
Elaboration:
Hand-harvested in 20 kg crates. Destemmed without crushing. Fermented in concrete and stainless steel vats.
