Analytical data
dry
Vinification
Fermentation was at controlled temperatures (below 28º C) in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then matured for six months in oak barrels with varying toasting levels to guarantee the perfect balance between ripe Tempranillo fruit and spicy oak character.
Vineyard
Tempranillo grapes were hand picked from 30 year-old vines in late August/early September. Valdepeñas means “valley of rocks”, the soils are clayey lime with a chalky layer which retains water to refresh the vines. Altitude helps moderate the classic continental climate: cold winters and long hot, dry summers.
