Winemaker notes:

GRAPE VARIETIES
Tempranillo and Mazuelo from selected vineyards in Viana picked when slightly overripe.

VINIFICATION
Four weeks in the vat with fermentation controlled at 28-30°C. with pumping over daily and "delestages".

AGEING
Malolactic breakdown in the cask and subsequent ageing on the lees until the first racking. Afterwards the wine was aged in oak casks.

BOTTLING
Fined with egg white and bottled in spring 2002.

TASTING NOTES
Deep cherry red with inky hues, a complex "bouquet" of fruit aromas, spices and smoky aromas on the nose. In the mouth it has backbone and lots of concentration, which bodes well for a long life.

NOTE
This wine was bottled without prior tartaric stabilisation, so it may contain precipitated solids which in no way affect its organoleptic characteristics. In this case it is recommended that the wine is decanted before drinking.
