Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of black fruit, notes of tar, pencil lead and spices.
Appearance
Deep cherry red with purple highlights.
Palate
Fresh acidity well balanced with the sweetness of the alcohol and a touch of oak, medium-bodied with a long, fruity finish.
Vinification
The grapes are selected in the vineyard and harvested by hand at optimum phenolic ripeness. They undergo 48 hours of maceration at 8C. Alcoholic fermentation occurs over 6-10 days at 28C and malolactic over 5-9 days at 19C. The wine remains in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees for 2 months before ageing for 2-3 months in French and American oak barrels It is cold stabilized, clarified and filtered.
Region Notes
45 year old vines in Villafranca del Bierzo, the heart of the region, where Mencia and Godello vines grow on slopes at altitudes of 450-700 m.
