Bright ripe-cherry colour with slight brick-red shades. Complexity of aromas reminding of vanilla, toasted nuts, dried fruits, liquorice and balsamics, composing an elegant bouquet. Consistent in the mouth, wide, well structured, with a variety of well assambled flavours: elegant wood, toasted fruits and vanilla. Long and intense aftertaste. It pairs well with starters of meat, patés, charcuterie, red meats and roasts. Serve at 16-19 ºC (61-66 ºF).
60% Tempranillo, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Garnacha
The soil is brown and limy over a sandy loam.
Continental climate with very hot summers and very cold winters, as well with a sharp contrast in temperature between night and day, what favours wines rich in fruit. Precipitation is of some 360 mm, while annual insolation amounts to be about 2.800 hours.
September-October 1999
After crushing and destemming, the grape macerates for 6 days and fermentation takes place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks with several rackings per day. After malolactic fermentation the coupage is made and then the wine is decanted and taken to American oak barrels, where it will age for 12 months. Finally, the wine will be filtered before being bottled and will age in the botte for 24 months.
