Made in the northern part of La Mancha, in the province of Toledo using the revolutionary “flash-détente” technology. Delicioso is a young, fruit-driven wine, offering bright red berry and raspberry aromas, deep, vibrant and lively flavors on the palate, well balanced and quite refreshing on the finish. An outstanding value from an up-and-coming region.

San Antonio Abad is a cooperative located in the province of Toledo, Castilla La Mancha with 450 members that together harvest over 2,000 hectares of vineyards.  San Antonio is one of the very few wineries in Spain (and the world) using the flash-détente technology, an expensive piece of equipment that yields fresh, fruit-forward wines by heating the grapes and then sending them to a vacuum chamber to be cooled. This technology increases extraction from red grapes while minimizing bitter seed tannin and pyrazine (vegetal) odors.
