ABOUT THIS WINE
Founded in 1897 by the Oria de Rueda family, Bodegas Torre Oria is located in the Utiel-Requena region of Valencia, Spain. Originally active in the silk industry, the family transitioned to winemaking, building a beautiful modernist estate. Torre Oria was the first winery outside the Penedès region to be permitted to produce Cava, but they are also highly regarded for their still wines. This Crianza represents a classic expression of the region's terroir, combining traditional Spanish winemaking heritage with modern quality standards.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in American and French oak barrels for a minimum of 6 months (as required by Crianza regulations in Utiel-Requena), followed by further aging in the bottle to achieve a harmonious balance between fruit and oak characteristics.
