Product details
THE HARVEST
The harvest of year 2017 will be remembered for the extreme conditions. The year of heat and dry weather in Mancha. The year of quality and quantity. The rainfall was very low, below 300mm around the year and temperature was 2ºC above the average. Specially summer was the warmest of the decade with weeks above 40ºC. In terms of harvest we had 25% less than previous years and warm temperatures made harvest to come earlier in time, around Au-gust 11th, the soonest in recent history. The berry was smaller and acidity less than aver-age, but alcohol was higher, factor that was in favor of good quality. In conclusion was a drier and warmer year, which will give more alco-holic and concentrated wines with less acidity.
VINIFICATION
Upon arrival, the grapes were destemmed and crushed. During the crush, the first portion of the must is separated from the skins, which are then cold macerated for 12 hours to extract the maximum amount of aroma and color. The best must is then bled and fined, and then fermented at 14ºC.
