Tasting Notes
The bouquet of this Crianza is intense, highlighting notes of cherry and raspberry in harmony with toasted spicy and a hint of minerality. The palate is velvety and powerful with mineral nuances meeting soft and elegant tannins.
Vintage Notes
2021 was qualified as a very good vintage. The growing season was normal and the end of the vines’ ripening cycle was near-perfect, with mostly sunny days and positive rains in September.
Winemaking
The Tempranillo grapes were hand harvested and carefully selected before fermenting at controlled temperatures in stainless steel for 15 days. A cold pre-maceration before fermentation was used to extract aromatics. The wine was matured in French and American oak barrels for 14 months with racking every six months.
