Vinification
(See attached tech note for lengthy info) Co-fermentation of both vineyards with skins and without stems for two weeks, extraction very aggressive (prior to fermentation) by treading over a period of 3 to 5 hours until the must becomes a jam-like paste and the seeds float. This type of port-style extraction seeks a very intense concentration of fruit characters and a fleshy phenolic structure. Once spontaneous fermentation takes place and carbon dioxide is produced carbon, we performed two gentle pump-overs of five minutes each, one for the morning and one at night looking for a very smooth extraction.
Aging
70% of the must is aged in old chestnut ‘bota’ from Oloroso. 34 arrobas (700 litres) and the other 30% in a Cognac barrel. Reductive aging where the barrels are religiously filled once a week. week. Bâtonnage is not applied and reductive aging of the lees is sought. The wine is only racked once and for bottling. Seeking therefore to keep carbon dioxide in solution and do not add sulphur during aging.
