Grapes from our own vineyards, which surround the Finca de San Rafael, were hand harvested with a high level of selection in the field and at a point of perfect ripeness. De-stemming was followed by a pre-fermentation cold soak of 24-48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation began spontaneously in the 12,000-liter stainless steel vats at a temperature of 26-28ºC. There followed a post-fermentation maceration with pumping over until racking. Malolactic fermentation also occurred spontaneously. The wine was then aged for two years in oak barrels of which 40% were American and 60% French and following which the wine completed its ageing in bottle in the cellars of the winery until its release.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby red in color, clear and bright. The nose is very expressive with fruit expression and elegance standing out. Red fruits are well integrated with spicy notes adding to the finesse. On the palate, the wine is well balanced and very long.
