Tasting Notes

Old concentrated bushvine fruit, handharvested, crushed and destemmed. Temp controlled alcoholic fermentation to 28 degrees Celsius for 7 days with delistage and pigeage for colour and gentle tannin extraction followed by a short maceration. Pressed off skins using only free-run wine followed by full malolactic fermentation. The wine is then cold stabilised and given a fine earth filtration prior to membrane filtration. Grown in chalk and clay soils situated on the slopes of the Ribota valley in DO Calatayud at 700–900m above sea level. Free-draining soils combined with minimal rainfall and significant differences in day and nighttime temperatures produce wines with excellent colour, aroma and distinctive varietal aromas. This wine has been made as a bold, modern expression of the Garnacha varietal. An average vine age of well over 45years combined with the unique microclimate has ensured great concentration of fruit from extremely small yields(circa20hl/ha). Full bodied with fine, soft tannins and well balanced acidity. Soft raspberry and wild berry fruits give way to a long, smooth, spicy finish
