description
Bodegas Fusión was created in 2007. The winery is a collaboration between two established Spanish companies: Rutas de Vino – Vintage Spain, a travel agency specialized in wine and food tourism and Bodega Histórica Don Carlos S.XV, a long time wine distribution company and vinoteca. Cristina Alonso and Fernando Ortiz have combined their experience in the wine industry to create a company that produces exceptional wines. They are made in Peñafiel, in the heart of Ribera del Duero, using 100% Tempranillo grapes from the best old vineyards, and aged in an old cellar from the XV century in Aranda de Duero. First Vine is the company's first U.S. importer and definitely the first to bring these wines to the Washington, DC area.

The Lara O Crianza is made from grapes on vines that are at least 40 years old. The wine is aged 12 months in oak, then 12 months in the bottle. It has a little toastiness from the oak, and a gutsy, remarkable body that has ultra-ripe fruits, woodsiness, and a little tobacco. It may be the biggest-bodied wine we sell, so if you're into big wines, give it a try!
