Denominación de Origen Almansa
KIND
Crianza red wine with 24 months in french oak barrels.
VARIETY
Garnacha Tintorera 100%, from our own organically grown vineyards, planted more than 50 years ago. We select our very low yield vineyards located between 800-900 m. altitude of sandy and limestone soils, which produce grapes with a high concentration of color, aromas and flavor.
VINIFICATION
These grapes are harvested manually in 15-kilo boxes and then subjected to a selection process before de-stemming and after crushing a careful pre-fermentation cold maceration, to obtain greater aromatic complexity. Fermentation and maceration last for 20 days, enhancing the varietal characteristics of the wine. The malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging takes place in French oak barrels for 24 months in a heated cellar, thus obtaining complexity, finesse and roundness.
TASTING NOTES
