Sourced from the picturesque Maipú region in Mendoza, the vineyards at an elevation of 900 M.A.S.L. provide the ideal setting for the cultivation of this expressive grape. The vines, trained using the Simple Guyot method, benefit from the traditional furrow irrigation technique.
Hand-harvested exclusively in mid-March, the grapes undergo a careful selection process, ensuring only the finest clusters make it to the next stage. The winemaking process involves a cold maceration for 5 days, followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with wild yeasts. Maturation takes place in first and second-use French oak barrels, imparting depth and complexity to the wine.
This Tempranillo has an aging potential of 8 years, showcasing its ability to evolve gracefully over time.
Food Match
Pair it with classic Spanish dishes such as paella or grilled chorizo to complement its varietal character. Its structure also makes it an excellent match for grilled meats, from hearty steaks to barbecued lamb.
Consider serving it alongside dishes with a touch of smokiness, enhancing the wine's oak-influenced nuances. With an aging potential of 8 years, this Tempranillo can be enjoyed now or savored after some time in the cellar.
