Mr Loverman Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Ladies and Gents, I'd like to declare my love for crianza. Owing to this, I feel it is appropriate to start a thread to understand how many others love it. Fellow crianzers, sign below to show your support.

The Mighty Thor Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 not wishing to be a pedant but Crianza is merely a designation of a wine's age under spanish wine legislation. Crianza means to have been aged for 2 years with a minimum of 6 months in oak. Usually seen on Rioja or Tempranillo on your supermarket shelves. Not bad but Reserva & Gran Reserva tend to be a bit smoother and more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
