A red wine made from the rare Garnacha Calabrese, a clone exclusive to the Sierra de Francia. Harvested from three vineyards in two different locations. One third is in the shale soils of Garcibuey (Prado Roble vineyards) and the other two thirds in Santibanes de la Sierra (La Cruz de Candelario vineyards and Las Brozas vineyards) with granite soils.
The grapes were harvested in mid-September. After sorting, the grapes were placed in a temperature-controlled vat, where a preliminary maceration took place for 48 hours at 8°C.
Alcoholic fermentation occurred spontaneously after three days at a temperature of 21°C. After the fermentation was completed, the wine was evaporated and pressed in a vertical press. After the wine was poured into French barrels, where malolactic fermentation took place. Before completion, malolactic fermentation is stopped, leaving a little malic acid to enhance acidity and freshness. Before bottling the wine was aged for 6 months in French oak.
Red wine of medium intensity, bright red color with burgundy rim. Presented in the glass with notes of balsamic, persimmon and black pepper. Powerful and complex on the palate. Lively wine with balanced acidity. Medium-long aftertaste reminiscent of loose tobacco and cloves.
