WINEMAKING: Tempranillo and Merlot are cold soaked together for 5 days with regular remontage. Alcoholic fermentation finished without skins, to avoid extracting bitter tannins. The Garnacha and Syrah are harvested together at about 70% of phenolic ripeness, looking for freshness. Whole cluster fermentation. The Cabernet Sauvignon is harvested at peak phenolic ripeness and fermented with skins with twice daily remontage to get good structure from the ripe tannins. All fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts. Lightly clarified and filtered. Sulfites ≤65mg/L.
