Winemakers Notes:
The Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varieties used to make this wine come from the oldest part of our La Planta estate. They are grown at an altitude of 911 meters (2,989 feet) in chalky clay soil with the limestone bedrock just one meter below the surface.
In mid October at the optimum point of maturation, the bunches are harvested in boxes of 15 kg. then pass through a selection table and are de-stemmed and put into stainless steel tanks, where after a few days macerating in cold, will ferment at a maximum temperature of 26ºC. A period of 16 months in barrels, 75% French oak and 25% American oak, makes it an elegant wine, fine and subtle.
Points:
90 - James Suckling
"This shows aromas of dark plums, bitter chocolate and vanilla. Full and round body with velvety tannins and good balance, but only a medium finish."
