Vintage impressions

The harvest of whites began at the end of August.
With a very mild summer without strong winds, the grapes ripened without any setbacks.
The use of carbon pellets for inerting and cooling the grape juice over its whole route during processing,  resullts in  subtle wines  with  glycemic touches.
Tempranillo has had no over-charging and a good photosynthesis  results in wines with good colour and structure.
The low production syrah with high concentration of polyphenols  results in a powerful and fresh wine.
This year the rains arrived while the grenache  remained unharvested!
We have started operating our new heat exchanger!!!
We have inspected the vines three or four times and selected grapes  for different preparations.
Using grapes with less color and graduation for the cold rose wine. Adding carbon dioxide in the process.
Grapes from good  load vineyards are used  for young wines, using new fermentation techniques (cold maceration and whole grapes).
Grapes from old vines are used for premium wines, and the maceration with skin during a whole month will structure all tannins, smooth roughness, creating a wide range of aromas.
We expectantly wait for the results associated with all the changes and improvements we have implemented both in the winery and in the field.
The merlot this year has remained on the vine much longer without any problems.
Offering  mature and dark,  fruity wines.
Carignan has had  a good  and long vegetative cycle without any setbacks.
Fermentations with different levels of controlled cooling , numerous pumping overs and “delestage”, were carried out in order to enhance colour, body and velvety sensations.
Finally, well into October the red cabernet is truly red!
The results are promising!!!
