Torres Celeste Crianza 2020 is crafted from 100% Tempranillo grown at high altitude in Spain’s Ribera del Duero region, where cooler nights preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The wine is fermented in stainless steel before ageing in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 12 months, followed by bottle maturation. This process brings structure, polish and a balance of fruit and spice that defines the Crianza style.
Bouquet Rich and expressive with aromas of blackberry, plum and black cherry. Hints of liquorice, vanilla, cedar and toasted spice add depth and warmth.
Palate Full-bodied with ripe dark fruit, firm tannins and well-integrated oak. Flavours of cassis, tobacco and clove are supported by bright acidity, leading to a long, savoury finish with a touch of mineral edge.
Food Pairing Perfect with grilled meats, chorizo, lamb tagine or mushroom paella. Also excellent with hard cheeses or roast aubergine with smoky paprika.
Cellaring Enjoy now or cellar through 2028 to allow the tannins to soften and savoury notes to evolve.
Interesting Fact Celeste is named for the night skies over the vineyards, where stars shine bright at 900 metres above sea level—capturing the high-altitude freshness that defines this wine.
