Tasting notes of winery's winemaker

Our signature wine, which is both different and modern. After the meticulous selection and production processes we choose the best musts, which we then transfer into new French and American oak barrels for a short period of time (approximately 6 months). This is a wine of very high colour intensity, demonstrating a perfect balance between the aromas of oak and fruit. The result is a wine with unique characteristics and optimum expression.

Grape Variety: Syrah 85% Monastrell 15%

Vineyard Characteristics: Located between 700 and 800 meters above sea level, on stony and calcareous soils, with maximum yields of 1.5 kg per vine.

Production: Cold maceration with skins intact, at a temperature of 10°C for 4 days, followed by fermentation using native yeast, at a controlled temperature of 25°C. The maceration continues for a further 6 days, all the while pumping and moving the must. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, we subject the wine to a process of micro-oxygenation in order to fix the tannins before beginning the malolactic fermentation.
