AGEING SYSTEM
18 months in French oak barrels (a selection of Rousseau, Anna Selection, Ermitage, Berthomieu and Allary barrels), and 4 months in concrete tank.
ELABORATION
Very limited production. 3667 bottles in this vintage. It is made in a very careful way from a very special vineyard. First red made entirely by Lucía.
First, a pre-fermentative maceration for three days. Then, the alcoholic fermentation is carried out in a stainless steel deposit with light daily manual pumping-overs. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, maceration with the skins is extended for 5 days.
After the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is transferred to a selection of French oak barrels for 18 months. Afterwards, it is transferred to a concrete tank where the wine is rounded and refined. Finally, it is bottled.
