Product details

Winemaking:
The best Alicante Bouschet grapes are picked and selected by hand. They are crushed gently and macerated for 3 days in stainless steel vats at a temperature of 10ºC. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature lasting approximately 10 days. After gentle pressing in a pneumatic press, malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and when finished the wine is transferred to 500 litre French oak barrels which allow for a gentle evolution during the 10 month ageing period, with low wood extraction and preservation of the fruit. After bottling, it is aged for 4 months in the bottle.
