Grape Varieties

Winemaker Comments

Naturally sweet red wine made with syrah (shiraz) grapes. The vinification process of this wine consists in allowing the grapes to over ripen on the vine until the optimal maturity is reached in order to achieve a sweet wine with intense and complex aromatic expression. Geographic information: Teba, north Málaga mountain ranges at an altitude of 510 metres. Despite being just 90 km away from the Costa del Sol, the climate is generally continental. The winters are cold, which benefits vine dormancy, and the summers are hot with late sun hours and cool nights, which benefits fruit ripening resulting in high quality, healthy grapes. The land is of the sandy loam soil type with gravelly texture. Harvest: The grape is over ripened on the vine. Collected by hand and placed in individual crates of 10-12 kg. Vinification: Prefermentation cold maceration and fermentation kept at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks. Slow fermentation in order to achieve maximum concentration of aromas. Description: Appearance: Clean and brilliant with medium depth which blends raspberry red with hints of violet and purple. As a whole, this wine visually displays its youth and freshness elegantly and seductively. Aromas: Intense and complex fruity aromas. Red fruit (raspberry and strawberry) as well as stone fruit (apricot and plum). All this accompanied by soft floral hints and flashes of milk. These traits make this wine extremely tantalising and pleasing to the palate. Flavour: All afore-mentioned fruit comes through in mouth. Its sweetness is smooth and velvety yet balanced with a touch of tartness which is persistent. Slightly acidic aftertaste which is long lasting, elegant and contained. Gastronomic pairing: This easy to drink wine pairs well with appetisers, starters, rice and seafood dishes (including sushi) Serve chilled between 8º and 10º C.
