Press ReviewPress

Made from Spain's finest red grape, the plummy tempranillo, and given five months in barricas (small French oak barrels), this low yielding, unfiltered red bursts with terrific, lively, leafy, spiced black fruits and dark chocolate flavours. Perfect with everything from roasted red meats to strong cheeses.

Winemaking

A selected harvest with low yields of 5,000 kilograms per hectare. The Harvest began in early October using a careful selection process whereby only the parcels showing higher concentration of colour are selected. The remaining clusters are rejected. After a brief period of chilled pre-fermentation, spontaneous fermentation is initiated without adding yeast. During the 22 day fermentation period, the wine is pumped over and agitated daily to control extraction, density, temperature and evolution of the yeast. After fermentation, the wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation. This begins without the addition of bacteria. A temperature of 20ºC is maintained for a period of 24 days to control the levels of lactic and malic acids. When the malic acid reaches a level of less than 0.1g/l, the wine is separated from the lees and transferred directly into oak barrels without undergoing filtration, fining or cold treatment. The wine is briefly aged for 5 months in new French Oak barrels.
