Padró i Familia

-         Ipsis Crianza is a delicious blend of Tempranillo and Merlot made at the Padró family winery just south of Barcelona. Over 5 generations, the Padró family have distilled spirits, made wines (including mistelas and other fortified wines) and become masters of vermouth.

-         On the wine side, the family now specialises in making light, fruity Mediterranean-style wines under different brands, each one representing something of who the family are. 

-         The family vineyards are located within the Tarragona Denominación de Orígen, the oldest D.O. in Catalonia, established originally to protect the delicate liqueur wines for which the region was famous – the Tarragona Clásicos. 

-         The Padró family believes very much in holding on to your traditions, doing what you know how to do and being proud of who you are and this belief is reflected in the name of their flagship brand Ipsis - made from selected grapes from their own carefully tendered vines -  ipse, self in Latin or ipsis: to thine own self (be true).  

-         After separate maceration and fermentation of the two varietals, the wines spend a minimum of 18 months aging in oak followed by the corresponding aging of the coupage in the bottle. 

-         Intense dark-cherry colour. Toasted on the nose with spice aromas appearing and red fruit that contributes to its complexity. Dense in the mouth with a tannic structure, notes of wild berries with a long persistent finish.
