Description
- Varietals: Bobal 70%, Cabernet Sauvignon 20% and Syrah 10%
- Aging: 10 months in French, U.S. and Central European oak barrels and a minimum of 18 months in bottle.
- Vineyard: "La Muela" area, Bobal, bush trained (40-60 years). Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, vertically trellised (15 years).
- Altitude: 750 m
- Soil: Stony, clay-limestone
- Harvest: After carefully monitoring the ripening process, we classify the plots and determine the best time to harvest. Hand harvesting at night in mid and late September (Syrah and Bobal respectively) and early October (Cabernet Sauvignon).
- Winemaking: Each grape variety and each plot are vinified according to their phenolic potential. Pre-fermentation maceration (6-8°C) for 4 days. The duration of maceration-fermentation (25°C) varies depending on the plot and harvest (10-15 days). After a first racking to remove the gross lees, the must is micro-oxygenated and undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.
- Bottling: Natural, without aggressive filtration treatments or stabilization.
- Tasting notes: Strong garnet red with purple tints. On the nose, hints of spice (pepper, vanilla), Mediterranean scrubland, and very ripe red and black fruit (plum, blackberry, cassis, blueberry). Over time, the wine reveals great aromatic complexity. Long on the palate, with silky mature tannins bringing power and an acidity that brings out the sensation of ripe fruit on the finish.
- Food pairings: Meat stews, small game, red meat and all kinds of grilled meat, oily fish, spicy dishes, cheeses.
