Technical Data
Grape variety: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon – 20% Tempranillo.
Protected Geographical Indication: D.O. La Mancha.
Aging: Aged up to 18 months in French (40%) and American oak casks (60%).
Preparation: After destemming, the grapes are vatted at low temperature for 24-48 hours in self-draining tanks where the pre-fermentation maceration of the skins takes place a CO2-saturated atmosphere. Subsequently, the temperature increases, so that alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 28 ºC. The second fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and then the wine is aged in oak casks. To fish, different qualities of wines are blended in order to get the final wine well structured.
