ELABORATION

The grapes come from the vineyards located in “Casas de Haro” Cuenca, in the surroundings of the “Ribera del Júcar”, with a special microclimate for the cultivation of the vineyard and at an altitude of 740 metres. The land is a high plateau with gentle slopes, sandy clay soils and the characteristic pebble layer typical of this area. The vineyard is approximately 60/70 years old. The harvest is done by hand between the last week of September and the first two weeks of October.
Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts from the same plots, controlling the temperature to 30ºC. When the fermentation was finished, the maceration was extended for 10 more days. Once devatted, the wine was transferred to fine American oak barrels where it was aged for 10 months. During the aging period, the wine was racked twice and lightly filtered before being bottled, remaining in the bottle rack for 6 months before being commercialized.
