PREPARATION: Wine made exclusively at the “Les Torres” estate of our property. The varieties, grown on a semi-deep soil, with a clay-limestone texture with a good mineral composition, have a minimum age of 17 and 20 years.
The grapes are harvested separately and manually at their optimal point of ripeness and health status. It is quickly transferred to the cellar in 1000 kg hoppers.
Once skimmed, it goes into tanks, fermenting at a maximum temperature of 22ºC and with a maceration between 12 and 15 depending on the variety. It is transferred and then the malolactic fermentation begins. This is finished when the blending is done and it is left to rest in the tanks until it is bottled after a light filtration.
TASTING NOTE: Bright ruby red in color, its intense aroma of red fruits and cherry cherries marks the ripeness of the grapes. In the mouth it is intense, powerful, well structured and with a slight tannicity due to its youth. Silky and long aftertaste.
