VINTAGE

We harvested manually on the afternoon of Monday, August 24, 2020, flower day of the biodynamic calendar. We have done it in 20 kg boxes to protect the grapes until their immediate arrival at the winery.
Previously we had selected the strains, choosing the optimal rows according to the maturation controls and based on the oenological parameters of sugar, acidity, pH and grape tasting.

VINIFICATION

Once the grapes entered the winery, they were de-stemmed it and put into the tank with skins and seeds. We controlled the fermentation at low temperature and the technique of pumping over was implemented to extract the color and tannins that we find in the Esglai.
Once the alcoholic fermentation finished, we transferred the wine, without pressing, to stainless steel tanks where it underwent malolactic fermentation and rested until bottling in late spring.
This wine has not been stabilized, clarified or filtered, so it may contain natural sediments. With this careful production and with the minimum intervention, we wanted to maintain the maximum sensorial potential of the wine.

TASTING NOTES

Clear and medium layer wine. It has a cherry color with violet hues and presents a homogeneous and marked tear.
Very expressive on the nose, in the still glass it shows red fruit such as strawberries and cherries on a liquorous background resulting from aging in the bottle. When aerated, an aromatic fan is generated where figs and forest fruits also appear.
In the mouth it is frank and fresh, with balanced acidity and good presence of tannins. It maintains the flavors of very ripe red fruit and notes of plum appear. It has a long and persistent finish.

PAIRING

Due to its freshness and red fruit, it harmonizes with a wide variety of meats, including grilled meats.
It elegantly enhances fish dishes.
Paired with strawberries, its red fruit flavor is intensified.
