Los Galafones Crianza 2019

This wine is born from the life and legacy of Ana Meler.

On September 27th, 1982, as the harvest was underway, Ana came into the world. That very day, her father Andrés planted a vineyard—an enduring tribute to his newborn daughter.

Four decades later, those vines continue to flourish, forming the heart of the Crianza and Reserva that Ana now lovingly creates. For more than twenty years, she has guided the harvest, blending the wisdom of three generations with the artistry of modern winemaking.

In 2022, Ana welcomed her son Pablo, and with him, a new vineyard was planted—just as her father once did. A gesture of love, a promise for the future, and a story carried forward in every bottle.

Tasting note

Cherry red coloured wine with a maroon rim. Strong bouquet, fresh, red ripe fruit with balsamic touches. Very expressive on the nose. On the palate rich with ripe fruit and a good structure. Its aftertaste is strong and balanced.

Serving temperature

Recommended serving temperature around 18ºC.

Food Pairing

This wine is ideal with cheese, vegetarian dishes, anti-pasta, red meat and chocolate.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at their ripest moment, during the coldest hours of a September night followed by destemming and afterwards a cold pre-fermentation is applied. Fermentation is done separately for each wine estate and variety. After continuous pumping over – délestage, the wine acquires its structure. The wine matures for nine months in French oak barrels and then bottled without adding sulphites.

Surrounding area

There are few places in the world where such excellent conditions come together as they do in Somontano. The mountains in the Pyrenees, with a climate of freezing winters and extremely high temperatures in summer, are perfect for the production and elaboration of exceptional wines.
