Classic fermentation method with destemming and pre fermentative skin contact followed of the application of dry yeasts. Fermentation up to 30º C in the first 2/3, and lowering down to 20º C during the last 1/3. During the whole fermentative process, pumping over 2 times per day, using each time half of the volume contained in the vat. After the alcoholic fermentation, the cap is plunged for 30 days, and during that period, extraction of the gentle tannins is conducted, along with the malolactic fermentation and the natural stabilization of the wine.
Wine is aged in American, French of Allier and Portuguese oak barrels of 225 Lt, for 6 months. Ageing in bottle a minimum 6 months after bottling.
Dark almost bright black colour, with an intense fruited aroma to matured blackberries. Powerful, deep full body, deep structured, but smooth and velvety, combining well the matured fruit and the oak the 3 months ageing. Tasty, elegant, with some complexity, long and intense.
A pleasure as aperitif, with tapas and snacks, or as accompany of red meat, risotto, paella, pasta, pizza, vegetarian, curry and other spicy food and dry cheese dishes.
