Notas del Viñedo

Vineyards of 40 years from the Sierra de Pardos and Santa Cruz, in the municipal terms of Castejón de Alarba, Alarba and Acered. Traditional culture in glass, at an average altitude of 950 meters. Singular vineyard in the wine panorama, capable of expressing the true personality of the Garnacha. Slopes with very poor floors and scarce organic content, with a yield of 1kg per strain.

Making notes

Vintage the first week of October. Manual vintage in boxes of 20 kg. Eviting in this way the breaks and bruises in the clusters. After the cooling period of the fruit in the refrigeration chamber, the whole grape is processed on selection tables, in order to dispose of the scarce non-suitable clusters. Fermentation at 26ºC with temperature control. A maceration is carried out over 10 days, thus seeking selective extraction of tannins and fruity aromatic compounds. Once the desired objectives are obtained, the bleeding is proceeded and a gentle pressing of the boles with a vertical press. Raised on its lees in a selection of French oak barrels for 6 months. The battonage technique is used to find the balance that grants the maximum fruity expression of the Garnacha variety and its terroirs.
