This wine is the result of a very strict grape selection at our Pagos de Carrapeñafiel vineyard in San Martín de Rubiales. Harvested when they attain optimum ripeness and acidity. Fermentation of destemmed grapes takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 30ºC. Macerated for 2 weeks with frequent pumpovers to ensure good colour extraction. After alcoholic fermentation, the skins are macerated in the wine for2 weeks with light pumpovers to extract elegant and sweet tannins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French Allier oak barrels.
This wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels with rackings every 6 months and the rest in the bottle until it is marketed.
