El Veneno

Beautiful vineyard cup-shape vine training, in strict rain-fed, planted in sandy dry loam tracts with a lot of stone, in a mountain enviroment, “Sopie de monte” (at the foot of the mountain) Balanced plant that loads very well, and allows us to preserve all the fresh fuit of the monastrell.

Wine of great balance where aromas of lavender, rosemary in bloom, eucalyptus and balsamic predominate. On the palate it is a very pleasant wine with a lot of fine and delicate tannin.

#Monastrell

Region

This monastrell harvested by hand in boxes of 10 kg and is fermented in small vats of 1.000 kg, all remounts are manual and in the middle of the fermentation it just wet the cap with its own wine in orden to not extract or harden the wine, the idea is to infuse.

Wine production

Winery is using much grain and a lot of whole bunch, the wine is made with 50% of the scratch, so that it has more vibration, freshness and verticality.

Maturation

Its aging 12 months in a barrel of 500 liters of French oak accompanies the wine, gives it complexity and is not invasive.
