ELABORATION

This wine is the result of an investigation project, a experimentation of a new elaboration method. There were no mechanical systems used during the elaboration process. This is based on gravity to avoid damaging the grape. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with autochthonous yeasts from the same vineyard, controlling the temperature at 30 °C. At the end of the fermentation the maceration was extended for 15 days. Once the decuvé had taken place, the wine was transferred to new fine American and French oak where it aged for 6 months. There were 2 rackings during the aging process. It was mildly filtered before being bottled and was in contact with the lees until April, executing the batonnage process daily. In this way, the wine will have a positive evolution inside the bottle, its life will be long, round and elegant.

TASTING NOTES

Well covered cherry red. Intense aromas of black fruits and oak, well conjoined. Savory, with round tannins and mature fruit in the background, spiced and with a great structure.
