Characteristics
Muruve Crianza is a red wine from Toro produced by Frutos Villar. This winery, founded in 1920 and located in the town of Toro (Zamora), was the first to produce wines in Toro.
Muruve Crianza is 100% made from the typical variety of Tinta de Toro. The grapes come from 115ha of vineyards.
The development of this red wine starts with a total stripping of the grapes and traditional fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C, which lasts between 12 and 15 days and has 3 movements per day.
After the fermentation process, the wine is aged for 8-12 months in American oak barrels (95%) and French oak barrels (5%) and is racked every three months.
Finally, Muruve Crianza rests at least 6 months in its bottle, in a warehouse where the temperature is below 18 ° C.
Serve at 16.0ºC

Tasting notes
This year, which was described as a very good one, started with high temperatures that did not lower until the end of November. There were also quite low water reserves. In the early spring, temperatures began to rise, leading to the first bleedings of the vines. The beginning of the growth cycle did not present any major upheavals, except for the low humidity due to the lack of rain during the winter. During May, the vines began to develop their buds, causing the flowering during the first week of June. When they started to ripen, the drought and the stress on the vines was evident. At the end of August, there a certain amount of rain helped to hydrate the bunches, which helped to collect the healthiest grapes.As a result, we have a year with wines of a concentrated profile and some acidity. Perfect in their youth and with a medium ageing capacity.
The vintage began with a rainy autumn and low temperatures that produced frost for days in a row in December. At the beginning of March, temperatures began to recover and at the beginning of April, the start of the growth cycle was already visible. Due to the persistence of high temperatures, the growth of the vines took place faster, bringing forward the flowering. In June, temperatures dropped but in July they increased significantly, causing the dehydration of some berries. In August and early September the weather evolved normally, until the arrival of the harvest.As a result, we have a year with wines of good body and acidity. Fluid wines in their youth and with a good ageing capacity.
The 2013 vintage, rated as a very good one, began in a complicated way. In the early spring, in April and May, temperatures were low and there were heavy rains, significantly delaying the start of the growth cycle. This resulted in late flowering and therefore later ripening. Before the harvest, there was a considerable amount of rain, which produced an interspersed harvest.After a cold and rainy year, the profile of the wines they have produced are less concentrated than usual. Fresher and with a good acidity.
