TYPE Tinto with crianza CRIANZA 18 Months in French oak and American oak D. ORIGIN Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León GRAPE VARIETIES 75% Tempranillo 20% Cabernet Sauvignon 5 % Merlot VOLUME 14 % Vol. TEMPERATURE FOR CONSUMPTION 15ºC-17 º C DESCRIPTION Very intense colour, deeper concentration than previous vintages Dark black cherry. Complex and attractive nose, fresh, deep red fruit, and a touch of eucalyptus well blended together in the wood, hints of roasted coffee and caramel after a few minutes in the glass. Full and powerful attack. A very soft and gentle entrance that leads to a very expressive and aromatic wine in the mouth. Great balance between alcohol, acidity and structure with very fine and soft quality tannins. A very long wine, very persistent. GASTRONOMY Goes well with non-oily fish and poultry, red and white meats… WINEMAKING PROCESS After the analysis of the grapes from our 54 sub-plots, they are fermented separately. The fermentation is adapted to the quality of the grape of each plot. As a general rule, it is pumped over many times during the first moments of the alcoholic fermentation (aqueous stage), then more moderately, determining them by taste. The duration of the maceration is also determined for each plot by taste. After the malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, the wines are selected for blending before spending eighteen months in the barrel. The 2005 vintage characteristics are not really present on this wine, because it is well rounded. AVERAGE ANNUAL PRODUCTION 300.000 bottles
