Reserva Tinto 2017

TASTING NOTES

Clear wine, deep cherry red, aromas of plum, fig, cedar, chocolate, pepper and smoky notes. Complex, structured, full, toasted oak barrels, balanced tannins and a long finish, revealing all the storage and 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 small crates.

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 undergoing malolactic fermentation, the wine spent 12 months in new French oak barrels and one year old French and American oak barrels. Once bottled, the wine was then aged for a further 10 months in our cellar. In order to maintain its unique characteristics, this wine has not been stabilised and may create sediments naturally.
