Detailed description

Winemaking

This wine is made out of Bobal grapes from old vines more than 60 years old. This is the start and the basis of the quality and balance of this powerful wine. To make this wine it is very important to have very low yields, therefore it is important the old vines, and to work in the vineyards to brind down this yield, which is normally quite high in this vigorous variety. The harvest was done manually in small cases at the end of october, with a later selection of bunches at the reception in the winery. Long and very careful maceration at low temperature before the fermentation. Also the start of the alcoholic fermentation was done at low temperatures, then letting the temperature go higher. After this process, the malolactic fermentation takes place in French-oak barriques,  100% first year. Then, the wine is aged in these barriques for another 6-8 months until its bottling.

Tasting

It is a dark-cherry coloured red wine, very intense in colour, and with purple hints.

In the nose, it shows very clean aromas of red and black fruits, strawberries, raspberries, cassis, very well balanced with creamy and pleasant toasted notes from the barrique. It also shows a slightly spicy touch of liquorice. Very aromatic and elegant nose.

In the mouth, it is rich, fruity with round and ripe tannins. It has a good acidity, and shows nice notes of vanilla, smoke and coffee. A powerful wine but with a very elegant balance.
