Description

GRAPE VARIETIES 80% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha

VINEYARD/ORIGIN Finca el Monte, vineyards aged more that 70 years old. Located at 650 meters altitude, in Tudelilla village boundary.

ELABORATION In the winery, the grape is destalked and slightly crushed. The fermentation temperatures are controlled up to 28-29ºC and the devatting is fast when it is perceived that the colour extraction has reached optimal levels. Subsequently, the wine is put into the barrels, where it will remain during 14-16 months. The wine will be aged 70% of the time in new American oak barrels and 30% in “second-year” French barrels.

SERVING AND PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS Serve at 16-18ºC. Excellent accompainment with all types of food: cold starters, pasta, pizza, poultry and grilled red meat.
