Catalan term

criança cs. anyada

Catalan to English Art/Literary Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
I am not sure what the difference would be. Don't they both mean aged? Someone suggested "vintage" but that doesn't make any sense to me. Can you plan to make a vintage wine (i.e. only grapes from one year)?

"Cellers Baronia del Montsant elabora actualment 2 vins negres de criança, 1 vi blanc fermentat i criat en barrica de roure francès, 1 negre de curta criança, 1 negre d’anyada i 1 negre dolç criat en barrica. "

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.
