Detailed description

Cultivation

Grapes that give origin to this wine come from vineyards where work is based on organic agrigulture, in a balanced, respectful and sustainable way, looking for very active soils with good biological conditions which allow an easy and fast uptake of reintegrated organic matter and, as a consequence, the expression of the soil where cultivation takes place.

Making

Every variety is harvested and made separately. After strict controls of maturation, the technical staff of the winery sets the ideal phenolic ripeness and harvest begins, in this vintage, Bobal harvest in the third week of September and Cabernet in the second of October. The harvest takes place at night in order to prevent the maximum oxidation of the musts and keep the most delicate aromatic shades. Once the grape is delivered at the winery, it is cold with the aim of disabling fermentation while frequent overpumps take place for getting a larger quantity of colouring matter, aromatic precursors and only the sweety tannins. Later controlled fermentation takes place between 22ºC and 24ºC with soft overpumps. Pressing in pneumatic press and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Processes of clarification, stabilization and filtering of the wines before bottling are carried out in the most respectful way in order to keep the most of its character.

Tasting

Rosé wine intense cherry red colour with dark purple reflections.

Fruity load is intense and persistence is good (black fruits, blackcurrant,..).

In mouth is kind, wide and fruity. Fresh palate with a remarkable tannin and a spicy sensation which presides the passing through the mouth.
