JOVEN (YOUNG)
• Terrain & Winemaking
Made with grapes from our vineyards located between Nájera and Cenicero, in the region of Rioja Alta. Basically Tempranillo grape variety (more than 70%) and Grenache (30%). Harvested from end of September to October, always with previous grape selection in the field.
Clusters are destemmed and cold storage of the grapes is made in stainless steel tanks to preserve the aromas. After cold maceration of the must, alcoholic fermentation with the skins on, at about 77ºF (25ºC). Controlled pump overs to avoid excessive tannin and color extraction, in order to obtain a wine with good volume, but still fresh and fruity. Subsequent malolactic fermentation, that reduces its acidity. Bottled on the property.
