Laudum Nature Tempranillo Cabernet Merlot 2021

Nota de cata del enólogo de la bodega

Gastronomy: Perfect match with snacks, cheeses, pates, rice, vegetables, white and red meats, fish and traditional cooking. To serve preferably at 15ºC.

Winemaking: Maceration/Fermentation at 24º C for 7 days and malolactic fermentation by bacterial seed.

Vineyards: This selection of organic grapes comes from our traditional dryland, headpruned vineyard plots (Monastrell), choosing the plots better suited for making young wines. The other varieties are grown on trellises with support irrigation, allowing the required ripening to be reached.

Age of the vineyards: 20 years old in average.

Soils: They are light soils which improve solar refraction; they are poor in nutrients and rich in active limestone, which does not allow for large yields but enables the plant to utilise the resources available easily; and they have a significant clay base and a high content of large stones which makes them permeable and fresh.

Yield: 6500 kg/hectare

Ripening and harvest Close monitoring of ripening in the field, until the optimum moment when harvesting takes place. The harvest is performed with a careful selection of grapes, in a clean way and maximum speed. Monastrell harvested by hand mid October. Cabernet and Merlot, mechanized harvest second half of September.

Climate: Continental Mediterranean climate, with little rain, falling mainly in autumn and the end of spring. Very cold winters, and a hot period without precipitation, spanning from flowering until the end of the ripening process.

Colour: Beautiful ripe cherry and sustained purple notes.

Nose: Marked by the grape varieties, it is fruity, with hints of ripe raspberry and blackberry.

Palate: Full-bodied, warm and fleshy, mineral with tannin notes arising from its elegant youth, growing in a long deep aftertaste.
