- Information about the Wine:
- High-altitude Monastrell, Garnacha Tintorera and Tempranillo grapes are sourced from dry-farmed 45-65-year-old bush vines from our best vineyard plots. Grapes are harvested from the beginning of September (Tempranillo) to the end of October (Monastrell) followed by a hand-selection of the ripest bunches at the winery and maceration and fermentation of each variety separately during three to four weeks at 27-28 °C. The young wine of each variety is racked several times to remove the heaviest lees and then stored in stainless steel tanks for 8-10 months prior to blending the various varieties and ageing the wine for 12 months in 300 litre fine grain medium-toasted American oak casks. The wine is then bottled after undergoing gentle filtration and aged for a minimum of 9-12 months in bottle prior to release.
