Vinification & Maturing of the Wine
After the harvest, the grape grains are separated from the stem and entered the tank to macerate for a few hours (extract the acidity, structure, colour & aromas). After this, they are pressed (separate skins & seeds) and take the liquid to a stainless steel tanks to begin to ferment at low temperature. Afterwards, this wine is aged on its lees for 8 months: half of the production in stainless steel tanks and the other half in 225-liter French oak barrels. This technique gives the wine more volume, smoothness and a citric and floral varietal character. It is then mixed & bottled.
Tasting Notes
This Tempranillo Blanco has a very unique nose; a mixture of citrus (lemon leaf & blossom) & fruit (apricot & pineapple) notes with a small touch of honey, mint & the right amount of minerals. On the palate, the Tempranillo Blanco gives a balanced structure, pleasant level of acidity & the time of resting in the barrel. Definitely, a must try!
