Ceramic Monastrell Criado en Tinaja presented its first 2019 vintage a year and a half ago in a gastronomic setting with Michelin stars, the Ricard Camarena restaurant in Valencia.<\/p>\n<p>The 2019 vintage of Ceramic Monastrell aged in ceramic vats has enjoyed great recognition from critics in its first months of existence, obtaining high scores and awards in various guides and competitions worldwide. Among them we can highlight the following:<\/p>\n<p>Gold Medal \u2013 Mundus Vini (Germany)<br \/>\nGold Medal \u2013 Berliner Wein Trophy (Germany)<br \/>\n96 Points \u2013 Gu\u00eda La Semana Vitivin\u00edcola (Spain)<br \/>\n95 Points \u2013 Gu\u00eda ADN Verema (Spain)<br \/>\n93 Points \u2013 Wine Enthusiast (USA)<br \/>\n92 Points \u2013 Gu\u00eda Pe\u00f1\u00edn (Spain)<br \/>\n90 Points \u2013 IWSC (UK)<\/p>\n<p>The secret for the success of this iconic wine is its aging in four phases, first it is aged on the lees. Next, it matures in French Allier oak, is later refined in ceramic vats and ends up resting in the last phase of aging inside the bottle itself for a few months before going on the market.<\/p>\n<p>After running out of the first 2019 vintage, the new 2020 vintage is launched, which promises great expectations to all great wine lovers. Pepe Hidalgo, technical director of Bodegas Vicente Gand\u00eda: &#8220;<em>Taking advantage of the experience gained after the first vintage, we have managed to produce a wine that is fresher and even finer and more elegant than the previous vintage<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To complement the range, the first bottling of Ceramic Sauvignon Blanc has been carried out. This is the first reference bottled by Vicente Gand\u00eda at Bodegas Urbanas and it is the first wine to be released within the Valencia Wine Community project. The careful elaboration carried out by Pepe Hidalgo also applies an aging process in different phases, with the particularity that toasted barrels with volcanic stone from Iceland have been used, which give the wine nuances that make it unique. This Ceramic Sauvignon Blanc, of which just over 2,000 1.5-litre magnum bottles have been bottled, is an oenological jewel. Its market release is scheduled for a few months in the spring of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Bodegas Vicente Gand\u00eda continues to bet on high expression wines, consolidating its ambitious project of positioning itself among the best wineries in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bodegas Vicente Gand\u00eda launches the new 2020 vintage of Ceramic Monastrell aged in Ceramic vats and carries out the first bottling of Ceramic Sauvignon Blanc in Bodegas Urbanas Bodegas Vicente Gand\u00eda consolidates its iconic wine project with the launch of the new references of the Ceramic brand, which has already become one of the house&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":40781,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[253],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vicentegandia.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
