Casajus LEN Red Wine special Tempranillo elaboration

CASAJÚS FINCA DOÑA LEN:
It is a wine made with 100% Tempranillo grapes (Tinta del País), originating from the vineyards planted by José Alberto 25 years ago in the natural areas of Quintana del Pidio located in the heart of Ribera del Duero, Spain. With this wine, one will highlight the aromas of red fruits that come from the variety, delicacy, and freshness of the red wine.

In the vinification cellar, the destemmed grapes remain at a low temperature in order to fully extract the potential fruit notes of the Tempranillo grapes. The grapes are fermented in small stainless steel tanks, with a capacity of 5,000 liters, that helps us to have rigorous control of the desired temperature.
In the aging cellar, the wine stays for 12 months, in second-year American and French oak barrels, perfectly assembling the soft toasty notes from the barrels with the red fruit notes of the wine.
