Vineyard

A vineyard of more than 25 years located at 1,100 meters above sea level. Its orientation is West-East, which provides a rapid natural runoff of water from rain and snowmelt. The driving system used is the high trellis system.

Soil Composition

Of alluvial origin, poor and sandy-loamy texture, with important presence of stone and calcium carbonate. These soils are defined as "calcareous" and convey great elegance and complexity to wines.

Harvest

Manual, in small plastic boxes of 12 kg

Winemaking

Upon entering the winery, the grapes go through a double-selection belt system to band and vibrant. A cold maceration at 8°C is performed for five days. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, close to 30ºC. The wine (80%) then goes into second-use French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and rests for eight months. Once placed in the bottle, it is stowed for a minimum of three months, until reaching the optimum point of consumption.

Tasting notes

Of intense violet color. Ample fruity aroma (plums and strawberries), flowers (violet), mineral and with notes of chocolate and tobacco. It has soft tannins but large volume, which give it a long and elegant finish. Ideal for pairing roasted chicken with herbs, roasted beef, sausage or cheese.
