C & C - 2022 - C And C Candidato Bib Red 3L Box - 3 L

C And C Candidato BiB Red is a Cabernet Sauvignon–led Spanish red blend from Castilla-La Mancha (Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla), thoughtfully packaged as a 3-liter bag-in-box for extended freshness and easy service. Composed of roughly 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with 15% Tempranillo, the wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve primary fruit clarity, then given a short lift of American oak to add toasted, vanilla-tinged notes without overwhelming the core fruit. Expect medium-high intensity on the nose and palate—bright black cherry and cassis from the Cabernet, warmed by red-plum ripeness of the Tempranillo, and framed by a meaty, savory backbone that gives the wine a reassuring depth. The brief American oak aging contributes toasted, coconut-tinged spice and a rounded mid-palate, while stainless-steel vinification keeps the finish lively. Packaged in a 3L box, this C&C offering is built for regular consumption—perfect for everyday dinners, casual gatherings, or kitchens that demand wine that can stay fresh over multiple servings. Pair with medium-aged sheep or goat cheeses, game or pork dishes, and even fish served in red sauces for a rustic, regional match. From a family producer, Cosecheros & Criadores (Familia Martínez-Bujanda), the Candidato BiB Red balances approachable structure with value-focused practicality for those who want quality in a convenient format.
