Campos Reales Canforrales Crianza

Canforrales Cabernet Sauvignon Crianza is produced by Bodegas Campos Reales, a winery situated in El Provencio, in the heart of Spain's Castilla-La Mancha region.

The region is characterised by a continental climate, with hot, dry summers, cold winters and abundant sunshine. These conditions favour the ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, encouraging concentrated fruit flavours, structured tannins and rich aromatic expression.

Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, this Crianza-style red wine combines the grape's naturally powerful character with the complexity developed through oak maturation.

Under the D.O. La Mancha Crianza regulations, red wines must undergo a minimum of two years of ageing, including at least six months in oak barrels. This maturation helps soften the tannins while introducing additional notes of vanilla, spice and toasted wood.

The wine is expected to display a deep ruby-red colour with garnet reflections, characteristic of oak-aged Cabernet Sauvignon.

The nose offers concentrated aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, dark cherries and plums, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla, cedarwood, toasted oak and sweet spices.

On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with firm yet rounded tannins and balanced acidity. Rich flavours of dark berries, blackcurrants and ripe plums blend harmoniously with hints of cocoa, spice and gentle oak.

The finish is long and pleasantly structured, reflecting the richness of Cabernet Sauvignon and the complexity developed through Crianza ageing.

An excellent accompaniment to grilled and roasted red meats, particularly beef steaks, lamb chops, venison and slow-cooked beef.

It also pairs beautifully with traditional Spanish cuisine, including grilled Iberian pork, chorizo, roasted lamb and rich meat stews.

The wine's structured tannins and concentrated fruit character make it particularly suitable for mature cheeses, such as Manchego, aged Cheddar and Gouda.

For Chinese cuisine, it pairs well with black pepper beef, roasted duck, braised beef, cumin lamb and richly seasoned meat dishes.
