Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2017 vintage was bold, full bodied and defined by stewed dark fruit flavours and aromas. Showcased oak influences, too, such as cedar and spice. Crafted from Monastrell and Syrah harvested in eastern Spain’s Jumilla appellation. Pair with grilled meats on any day of the week.
Enjoy.

Reviewed on June 28, 2020
From the Jumilla wine region, A hardy red produced by Crápula. CR GOLD 5 2017 is a rustic red blend of Monastrell and Syrah grapes. Fragrant with a ripe blackberry nose and toasty oak aromas. Look for blackberry jam, plum, black pepper, leather, allspice, cigar and toasty oak spice flavours on the palate. Pair with grilled ribs, chicken, sausages. - Community Wine Reviews
