GRAPE HARVEST
Coming from our oldest vineyard called Candela, grapes were selected in vineyard and were picked when the fuit had an ideal ripeness. Grapes were collected in boxes of 15kg and inmidiately moved to the winery.
WINEMAKING
In oak tins with a capacity for 1500kg a cold pre – ferment maceration was done during five days. Afterwards the temperature was increased until a maximum of 25 ºC during the alcoholic fermentation, which lasts 10 days, After, the wine is transfered to new french and european oak barrels where spontaneously the malolactic fermentation is done, with diary stirring until fermertation is finished.
AGING
The wine lies 14 months in mixed French and American oak barrels, decanted 3 times by simple decantation ,without using any mechanical mean, to take out all the particularities the oak may provide.
BOTTLING
It resulted into a production of 2.864 bottles of 0,75cl. The wine was not filtered so it may present a natural sediment. The cork is natural and high quality.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
Combines perfectly with red meat, game and cured cheese.
