VINEYARD INFORMATION

VI 58 - 67 situated at 590 m. altitude, on very stony ground. Harvest Date: early morning of 01-oct-2008.

WINEMAKING

From our best vineyards we have selected an exceptional plot of land with a surface area of only 2.5 hectares, with garnacha vines that are over 70 years old, with unbeatable conditions, 100% dry land, irrigated by rainwater, on land where only stones can be seen.
Detailed monitoring is carried out and the grapes are picked by hand when they taste just right, obtaining only 7,000 kg. of grapes. A yield so low that only 1 bottle is made from the vine stock robe.
To increase the concentration 20% of the tank is bled off as soon as the grapes are put in. Fermentation is carried out with daily delestage and after steeping in the grape pulp for over 28 days it is put into new barrels, where it remains for over 9 months.
To naturally conserve all the intensity, the wine is not clarified or cold stabilised and does not go through any type of filtration.

WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS

We have obtained an intense wine with a deep reddish violet colour, with a surprising bouquet with hints of fruit such as cherries, blueberries and blackberries, very mature with notes of orange preserve, with a spicy, liquorice base, and mineral tones all accompanied by hints of toasted wood.
It is full-bodied on the palate, fatty, very concentrated, strongly reminiscent of ripe fruit, with hints of cocoa, chocolate and cherry liqueur, very well balanced and long-lasting.
