This wine is created from a special selection of plots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot , Tempranillo and Garnacha characterised by low yields and balanced grapes, with a high polyphenol content. After closely monitoring grape ripeness, the harvest is made once the maximum balance has been achieved between the grape components. The grapes are fermented and macerated separately in stainless steel vats.
The fermentation is performed at a controlled temperature of between 28 to 30 ºC. the grapes are then left to macerate for 15 – 20 days, depending on variety and condition. Once the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation has been completed, the wine is aged in 225 litre oak barrels for 14 months.
The different wines are then blended to obtain a perfect coupage of the three varieties. Its subsequent bottle ageing give it elegance and fullness.
