WINE MAKING : Traditional method.
Fermented at 28ºC with temperature control. Maceration in contact with the skin throughout two weeks. After the alcoholic fermentation we control the malolactic fermentation in French oak.
AGEING:
Once finished the malolactic fermentation, we proceed to the decanting and pass the wine to new French oak in contact with it own skin. After this ageing we make a selection of the best oaks, the coupage of them and we proceed to the bottlelling. The average stay of the wine in barrels is 8-9 months.
TASTING:
Colour.- Intense cherry red colour with ruby hues. Very clean and brilliant.
Aroma.- Powerful but elegant aroma with very mature red fruit qualities, with spicy and vanilla notes afforded by the “crianza” in French oak casks.
Palate.- Perfectly balanced with a good volume, on the palate its generous, harmonious and sumptuous, filled with red fruits and soft, sweet tannins from the French oak barrels.
