WINE DESCRIPTION

Carchelo Selecto Crianza is a red wine produced by Bodegas Carchelo in the Jumilla appellation of Spain. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which provide ideal growing conditions for the Monastrell grape variety. The wine is aged for an extended period in oak barrels, which gives it a complex and rich flavor profile. The style of the wine is full-bodied and intense, with notes of dark fruit, spices, and vanilla. This wine is a great example of the quality wines that can be produced in the Jumilla region, and it is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for bold and flavorful red wine.
