Figuero 4 Meses Wine

Elaboration and aging

Figuero 4 is made 100% from Tempranillo grapes, with an average age of between 15 and 20 years. The harvest was done manually, in 12-kilo baskets. Subsequently, there was a peculiar cold maceration for 2 to 3 days at 12ºC. The alcoholic fermentation was spontaneous and took place at a maximum temperature of 28ºC, with 2 daily pump-overs and 1 "délestage" at the end of fermentation. After fermentation, there was a second maceration for 15 days.

The aging was done in new barrels (50%) and 1-year-old barrels: 75% American and 25% French.
