Alicante Bouschet 2017

TASTING NOTES

Clear wine, deep violet red, aromas of plum, blackberry, cocoa and spices, with floral notes. Complex, structured, fresh and voluminous, with barrel toast, rich tannins and a persistent finish, revealing its full aging potential.

VITICULTURE

The vineyards are planted on red clay soils with underlying brown or crystalline limestone, with some schist outcrops. They thrive under a Mediterranean climate, with large thermal fluctuations and hot, dry Summers.

After careful canopy management during the growing season, the grapes were hand-picked and transported to the winery in boxes.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were sorted manually, destemmed and underwent pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation itself was carried out in “Lagares” and stainless steel vats with temperature control.

AGEING

After malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine aged for 12 months in 3rd and 4th year old French and American oak barrels. After bottling, it rested in bottles for 24 months in our cellar. In order to maintain its unique characteristics, this wine has not been stabilised and may create sediments naturally.
