About the Wine
At Grandes Vinos, the celebration of the unique land of Cariñena is paramount, where tradition and innovation come together beautifully. Picture the sun-soaked vineyards of Cariñena, where ancient stones tell old tales and the strong wind, el cierzo, whispers to the vines. Here, passion flows as freely as wine, thanks to over 700 dedicated winegrowers who pour their hearts into every bottle.
The vineyards sit in the foothills of the Iberian Sierras, covering over 4500 hectares of varied terrain. The vines grow in old, stony soil, rich with rocks and minerals, and are constantly refreshed by the strong cierzo wind. These elements give the wines a unique character that reflects the heritage of the terroir.
Since 1997, Grandes Vinos has been dedicated to bringing the rich heritage of Cariñena to wine lovers around the world. This mission is driven by the hard work and passion of the winegrowers, who put their expertise into every bottle.
“El Circo” was crafted to capture the excitement and magic of a circus. Like vibrant, colorful performances under the big top, it's full of surprises, talent, and diversity. The artists of the circus inspire the El Circo brand, originally made up of nine varietal wines, each representing a circus act.

Tasting Notes
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Elegant and lively, just like a contortionist. Each sip brings a mix of dark berries, a hint of spice, and a touch of oak. The finish is smooth and lasting, leaving you wanting more.
