Red Crianza
(Oak-aged) wine made from grapes of 35 - 45 years old vines.
Harvest: Hand-picked
grapes. Fermentation in cylindrical stainless steel vats with a conical top and
capacity of 18,000 Kg at a controlled temperature of up to 30°C. Winemaking
Method :Using destemmed grapes, without crushing, and the delestage method,
completely breaking up the cap. The wine must is pumped over the cap daily
during the 14 days it spends in the vats. Low pressure vertical pressing. Aged
during 18 months in oak casks, and 6 months in the bottle.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Deep cherry red
with ruby red tinges.
Aromas: Intense ripe
black fruit aromas, with spicy (cloves), balsamic, and vanilla hints.
Taste: Fresh, complex,
and long lasting, with well marked varietal characteristics.
The fermentative aromas
are very well combined with the aromas of the ageing process. Ripe black grape
aromas persist in harmony with the noble tannin of the new oak. This wine has
developed very nicely with its time spent in the bottle.
