The grapes used to produce this wine come from nearly 60-year old Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano vines. Grapes are hand-harvested in 15 kg plastic boxes.
Bunches are selected one by one on the grape sorting table. Afterwards, they are destemmed and crushed and transferred to stainless steel truncated cone deposits.
Controlled fermentation at 27ºC. A vertical manual press is used in the process; must is stabilized in stainless steel deposits and subsequently aged for at least 14 months in American and French oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Dark maroon colour. Ripe fruit, plum, blackberries and licorice aromas over the spicy background of the barrel.
Great structure with rounded tannins and a long and persistent mid-palate.
