Making notes Termes

Notas del Viñedo

Vineyards located on the two sides of the Duero, both south and north, at 700 meters altitude. Ecological and dry cultivation, where the soil is frank-sandy.

Making notes

Traditional elaboration. Allowed total. Four days of cold maceration. 7-day alcoholic fermentation with comeback (between one and two a day). After the alcoholic fermentation, a prolonged maceration is made with the hair and light footprints. Controlled temperature between 28 and 29ºC. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. 14-month aging in French oak barrel (20% is new and the rest is second use), with transport every 4 months.

Climatología

After a warm summer, some rainfall at the end of August slightly delayed the vintage but were essential to reactivate the maturity process. The vineyards faced the high temperatures of June, July and August thanks to the reserve of water in the subsoil coming from a rainy spring and a couple of summer storms that contributed to maintaining the humidity available for strains.
