La cosecha: The grapes demonstrated excellent sanitary parameters and appropriate sugar, total acidity and pH values. The 2005 grape harvest was qualified as Excellent by the Regulating Board. This is the highest qualification for wines.
Elaboración y crianza:
The grapes were harvested by hand in collapsible 15 kilogram crates and after a first selection in the vineyard, a second selection in the winery at the selection table was carried out. Each of the different grape varieties fermented in separate tanks for 7 days. During the maceration process, a combination of overpumping and “delastage” was carried out. Thereafter, the malolactic fermentation took between 10 and 20 days. The wine aged separately according to the different varieties in French oak barrels, brand new (46%), used once (39%) and used twice (15%), of two different capacities: 225 L (79%) and 300 L (21%).

Nota de cata:
The wine presents an attractive and deep cherry-red colour. On the nose, you will distinguish an intense aroma of mature fruit, compote, well assembled with notes of a well-aged wine in high quality barrels. This gives way to hints of minerals, pepper and coffee. On the palate, the taste is flavorful, very mature, appetizing and fruity. It is well structured and has a long finish.
