Profile:
Dark plum, black currant, structured tannins, and a bold, persistent finish.
How It Was Made:
The grapes are first selected in the vineyard and hand-picked into 20kg crates. A second selection took place in the winery. Fermentation of the gently crushed grapes with autochthonous yeasts in small vats, with temperatures around 28ºC, and with daily punching. This wine is 100% Tempranillo. The post-fermentation maceration lasts a few days after the fermentation is inished, and the moment of devatting is defined by tastings. Malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels where the wine remained with regular batonnage until being clarified and bottled. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels.
