TASTING NOTES: This is a very elegant and fruity Carmenere that offers a combination of red and black fruits, with no herbal notes but a great freshness, which makes it a wine with lots of aromas and full of life. It feels vibrant on the palate, with a good concentration, balance and great volume. Its tannins are big and round, and it offers a persistent ending with great structure. TECHNICAL NOTES: HARVEST AND VINIFICATION: The grapes were picked by hand on April 21 and then taken to the winery to be destemmed, manually berry selected and placed in open-top wood tanks for a cold maceration of 5 to 6 days. The alcoholic fermentation took place between 25 and 26º C during 8 to 12 days, using soft extractions. Then the wine experienced a post fermentative maceration of one to two weeks, depending on each lot and the daily tastings of the wines. After finishing maceration, the wine was racked directly into French oak barrels and untoasted foudres where it underwent malolactic fermentation and, according to each lot, was aged for about 14 months. AGING: 85% of the wine was aged in new and twice used French oak barrels, and 15% in untoasted foudres for 14 months.AGING IN THE BOTTLE: At least 12 months before being released to the markets.
