Spanish term for a young wine (red, rosé and white) marketed in the first year after the harvest and matured only briefly (maximum six months) or not at all (sin crianza) in the barrel. These wines are intended for immediate consumption. Such wines correspond analogously to the French Nouveau (Primeur). See also under Crianza and the wine legislation in Spain.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
