The wine. CANTIGA was made from destalked Tempranillo grapes in October 2014. A long maceration went through at 28º C with frequent remontages to extract more colour and aromas from the grapes. It has been matured during
five months in French and American oak barrels, which were
three years-old. Before its bottling, the wine was decanted several times and filtered very gently to retain all its colour and aromas.
Intense, dark and bright red colour.
Its fruity and floral aromas (raspberries, violets) are enhanced
by its balsamic and mineral notes coming from the terroir.
Balance is ported by the toasted and spiced aromas (hazelnuts,
coffe and pepper) from its well measured time in oak.
Incredibly long for a young wine.
