Detailed description

Making and Ageing

A young wine without oak ageing. Due to the high temperatures which can be get at the region of Extremadura, harvesting of some varieties, as the Tempranillo one, begins between the middle and the end of August when grape is in its ideal point of ripening. The harvest begins manually, depositing the bunches in crates of 12 to 15 Kg each. It also is carried out at night, when temperatures are cooler, beginning at 4 am up to 11 am, moment in which the grape is taken to the winery. We make our best in order to the transport to not last more than one hour. The two varieties are separately fermented and in a different way to extract the most of the character of each one.

Tasting

Visually intense cherry red colour with nice and bright violet borders. Intense, clean and brilliant.

In the olfactory stage expressive nose, its youth is perceived at first in the wild fruit aromas, strawberry, violets, juicy raspberry even a sweety aroma to jelly beans. Notes of black fruit, licorice, plums and mint appear further on.

It is a fresh and fruity wine when tasting it. Easy to drink. Gentle and tasty in mouth. Firm tannins well integrated. Wild fruits come back and a pleasant aftertaste to coffee and cocoa which stimulates to continue drinking.

A young wine which enjoys evolving in the cup and which is welcomed as its price confers a worthy exponent of the best drinking. An ideal wine to pair a great variety of tapas of design, a very fruity wine from its very beginning with slight floral contributions  where the shyra is presented. Fruit is shown fresh and young in order to turn to more ripe notes with the oxygenation next to notes of sweety spices in the background. In mouth is fresh with a greedy attack that makes us enjoy it. Slight bitterness at the end which provides length owing to the change of greedy notes at its beginning.
