VITICULTURE
This wine comes from vineyards over 10 years old. The planting of our vineyards was made following quality criteria, seeking low yields and small-berry bunches. Therefore, the density of plantation is very high (4,000 plants per hectare, according to a plantation frame of 2.5 x 1 metre), low-vigour grafting, Guyot training for higher vegetation, trickle irrigation managed in order to guarantee a good harvest with a certain hydric stress for higher quality grapes.
WINEMAKING & AGEING
Alcoholic fermentation for 10 days at 28ºC. Maceration in contact with the skin for 10 days. After devatting, malolactic fermentation took place. 12-month ageing in American oak barrels followed by a 6-month bottle ageing.
TASTING NOTES
Intense cherry red colour. On the nose, there are notes of ripe
fruit (blackcurrants and cherries) which are well integrated with the palate, this is a velvety wine with good structure and good fruit levels. High quality tannins abound.
