criança = aged /ageing / anyada = vintage Explanation: HTH Shiela Vintage, in wine-making, is the process of picking grapes and creating the finished product. A vintage wine is one made from grapes that were all, or primarily, grown and harvested in a single specified year. In certain wines, it can denote quality, as in Port wine, where Port houses make and declare vintage Port in their best years. From this tradition, a common, though incorrect, usage applies the term to any wine that is perceived to be particularly old or of a particularly high quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintage Añada Vintage Year of the grape harvest from which a particular wine was produced. http://www.vinosdespaña.com/icex/cda/controller/pageGen/0,33... Crianza Ageing The Spanish name for the controlled process of ageing and maturing a wine, during which it develops special characteristics. The term is used generically to describe any wine that has been aged. Vino de crianza is the term for a quality wine that has been aged in wood and bottle for at least two years. http://www.vinosdespaña.com/icex/cda/controller/pageGen/0,33... |
