Canalizo by Carchelo

Winemaking of the Tinto Canalizo

The Carchelo winery from Murcia has produced this red wine of 14.4% vol /lac. with Protected Designation of Origin Jumilla from the mixture of three grape varieties from vineyards between 25 and 40 years old with limestone-sandy and somewhat clay soils. These varieties are Monastrell (50%), Syrah (25%) and Tempranillo (25%), all of them collected manually.

The maceration process, alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out in stainless steel tanks and separately for each variety, and then put them together for aging. This aging is carried out for 20 months in French oak barrels, after which the Canalizo Red wine rests in the bottle for another 24 months.

Nuances of Canalizo wine and what to accompany it with

To the eye it appears as a red wine with copper nuances that give it great vividness. Its deep aromas remind us of stone fruits and undergrowth, with certain touches of spices such as vanilla or cloves. Once in the mouth, you can appreciate the balance of acidity and silkiness of the Canalizo, which together with its elegance leaves us a pleasant sensation.

It is a dry red wine perfect for storage, because the time the bottle does nothing more than enhance its aromas, flavors and properties. It is perfect to accompany traditional and haute cuisine dishes, but also to take along with board of cured cheeses or with ounces of dark chocolate.
