Leon, Spain
Produced from the very best selections of Prieto Picudo, Mencia and Tempranillo grapes grown in the family vineyards at Dehesa de Villacezán, this deep-red colored wine exhibits lovely aromas and flavors of ripe dark-fruits with hints of coffee, toast and vanilla. Following fermentaion, the wine is aged for twelve months in new French and American oak. The concentrated fruit and tannins balance harmoniously with the oak and acidity, while bottle aging rounds out the wine to make Doce Meses a powerful yet elegant red wine. Enjoy this complex wine with red meat, game, a strong flavored cheese or just sit back, relax and sip.
Though considered a Crianza, Doce Meses (or "Twelve Months" for the minimum time in oak) would qualify as a Reserva in some D.O.s. The wine reflects the very best of Villacezán, from careful selection of the highest quality grapes sourced from the finest plots to the carefully chosen oak barriques.
