Flavor Profile
Spain’s wine scene is turning heads…and for very good reason. Where else can you find luxuriously barrel-aged, mature reds of quality at an everyday price point? Silky and complex, Palacio del Conde Gran Selección is one of the best examples in our range, and it’s now available in a 1.5-liter magnum bottle.
The wine hails from Valencia, on Spain’s eastern coast––a region that stretches from the breezy Mediterranean shores to the sun-drenched, inland hills farther south. Here, winemaker Jorge Caus selects the finest Tempranillo grapes he can get his hands on (literally, to harvest) from 50-year-old vines. He then ages the wine for three years in oak barrels, which provides extra depth and complexity, as well as a soft edge of vanilla to the ripe red-fruit core.
Aromatic and smooth, this luxurious red will pair beautifully with duck or lamb, strong cheeses or tapas like jamón serrano. And the 1.5-liter magnum bottle (equal to two bottles in one) will ensure that you have plenty to go around for guests. Decanting one hour before serving will really open up those silky, spice-kissed flavors.
Mature reds like this represent some of the best values in wine...for now. Get in before the rest of the world catches on.
