5.000 vines per hectare trained with guyot system

Year Of The Plantation

Vineyard Management
To obtain a perfect ripening of the grapes, beyond the normal vineyard management, we carry out summer pruning and careful leaf thinning. Furthermore, the yield is kept very low in order to produce grapes rich in scents and aroma

Harvest
End of October, picking very ripe grapes, with a deep colour and a complete aromatic structure. When the grapes are ripe they are carefully selected.

Vinification
Drying of a part of the grapes, destemming and crushing of the grapes, maceration in special vessels at controlled temperature, with frequent pumping over. After this period, the wine is taken out and ends its fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel vats. The wine matures for 36 months on its noble lees and further 18 months in bottle

Tasting Characteristics
Intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. Full and wide bouquet, reminiscent of blackberry and cherry jam, melted chocolate and tobacco. Straight flavour, dry and austere taste, with a slight acid backbase. Great extract, exuberant the alcoholic endowment

Pairings
Ideal with game (hare, pheasant or guinea fowl stew or sauce peverada), grilled meat and seasoned cheeses

Service Temperature
15°-18°C

Storage
In a cool and dark place, keeping the bottle in a horizontal position. Its structure and complexity enable the wine to improve during maturation in the bottle, which can last up to 50 years, reaching the top after 20-25 years from the vintage

Alcoholic Grade
15-17,5% by vol. (it depends on the vintage)
