CLIMATIC CYCLE
A huge drought in summer. During 14 days, the temperatures have risen above 30ºC. 482,5 mm. of precipitations in the vine-growing year. An excellent response of the vineyards with depth roots, specially the old vineyards with no much production. A very rainy winter, a usual spring and a very dry summer.
Grape variety:
100% Tempranillo.
Vineyard:
Selected bunches from different plots. Applied methods from own research and development on polymerisation of tannins and anthocyanins.
Grape harvest:
The second week of October.
Fermentation:
In French oak vats, with controlled temperature.
Ageing:
In 100% brand new French oak barrels. 8 months in barrels and 4 months in bottles.
Stabilization:
By natural methods, clarification using only egg whites without filtration.
Alcohol:
14% Vol.
Colour:
High layer with a dark cherry background and red rim.
Nose:
It is very intense with a very marked leather attack. Fruit and earth can be appreciated but at this moment the leather is covering it.
Palate:
Also in the mouth the sensation of leather is very present and masks the greatness of the wine.
Below you can see the black fruit in a wine with great volume and a lot of presence. There is a certain liquorous sensation that indicates the origin of a Mediterranean vintage.
Tasting held in Haro on December 14th, 2017
