Description

Different and modern. After the meticulous selection and production processes we choose the best musts, which we then transfer into new French and American oak barrels for a short period of time (5 months). This is a wine of very high colour intensity, demonstrating a perfect balance between the aromas of oak and fruit. The result is a wine with unique characteristics and optimum expression. Cold maceration at 10°C for 4 days, followed by fermentation with native yeast, controlling the fermentation temperature at 25°C. The maceration then continues for another 6 days. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete we submit the wine to a process of micro-oxygenation in order to fix the tannins before beginning the malolactic fermentation. Harvest: During the month of October. Grapes harvested by hand. Grape variety: Syrah 85% Monastrell 15% Age of vines: Up to 80 years. Vineyard characteristics: Located between 700 and 800 meters above sea level, on stony and calcareous soils, with maximum yields of 1.5 kg per vine. Alcohol: 14% Presentation: 75cl Bordeaux Elite Conical Trunk. Serving advice: 16-17°C Accompaniments: Cooked rice dishes, vegetables, mushrooms, stewed meat, sausage, cheese, grilled or roasted red meats, stewed hare, rabbit, veal, spiced dishes. Awards: New Release. Awaiting the results from the ’International Wine Challenge’ 2013.

Rating a wine is not for experts alone. This skill can be developed by anyone with enough practice and exposure and it starts with understanding the elements in winemaking, tasting and rating. There are basically 4 areas where wines are rated. These are appearance, aroma, taste and after taste.
