Preparation and Aging

Mestizaje 2018 is made from the native Bobal variety and small portions of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Garnacha. The production of Mestizaje begins with a harvest and manual selection in 15kg boxes. Once in the winery, each variety is vinified separately. First, a cold maceration is carried out for 24 to 36 hours at a temperature of 8-10ºC, followed by a fermentation of about 11-13 days with small pumping overs at a temperature of 26ºC. Once the fermentation is finished, a post-fermentation maceration is carried out that lasts between 5 and 8 days.

Finally, to round off the wine, a 4-week malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels with periodic "batonnages" and aging in French oak barrels for 10 months.

Mestizaje Tasting Note 2018

• View: Mestizaje is a cherry-colored wine with violet reflections. Clean and bright, it presents a dense, slightly tinted tear.
• Nose: fragrant and expressive, of medium-high intensity in which ripe red and black fruit predominates, very well accompanied by toasted and roasted notes, memories of aromatic herbs, floral notes, lactic, spicy touches and a mineral and limestone background. A harmonious and fun nose.
• Palate: It begins with a broad and fresh entry with a silky journey with a lot of fruit, tasty, juicy, supported by ripe, sweet and polished tannins and an acidity very grateful for its contribution in freshness. Long finish of medium-high persistence with pleasant toasted and fruity sensations that invite the next drink. A round, expressive, pleasant red wine, a safe bet.

Pairing
