Cabernet Sauvignon Premium

Cabernet Sauvignon ungrafted vines, are 12 years old and are conducted as espalier. Vineyards are handled with a vegetative restriction concept, in favour of fruit production in a microclimate that is characterized by a great day and night thermal difference (68º F) and high radiation, achieving low yielding (grapes Kg/plant) in order to concentrate its components: scents, colour, and phenols, thus getting more structured and bodied wines.


Nocturnal harvest begins in the middle of April when perfect sugar, scents and tannins ripeness is attained. Grapes are crushed and stemmed in the winery, adding some 2 mg/l of sulphur dioxide in the reception hopper. Musts and skins are poured in 5.000 litres stainless steel casks, where it takes place a 5 days cold maceration at 50º F , before fermentation , to extract scents and colour. Then, musts are inoculated with selected yeasts to ferment at 82 - 88º F for a 7 to 10 days period. 4 daily 1 minute/metric ton toppings are performed to extract all of the colour and tannins from the grapes.
