YOUNG RED 100 % TEMPRANILLO

Hand-picked Tempranillo grape bunches, from small vineyard plots planted on limestone-clay soils, were fermented separately in small stainless steel tanks. A portion of the grapes were fermented following the carbonic maceration traditional winemaking standards, very common in the Rioja Alavesa. This is a completely natural process by which whole bunches ferment in a carbon dioxide atmosphere whereas an intracellular fermentation takes place inside each grape to create distinctive fruity aromas in the berry. These aromas will contribute to the flavor and fragrance profile in the resulting wine.
