Elaboration and aging
Pago de los Capellanes Crianza is a single-varietal wine made from 100% Tempranillo grapes. The grapes are selected and harvested in early October. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, the alcoholic fermentation begins in a controlled manner, with the addition of selected yeast from the best vineyards for 30 days, with daily pump-overs. The malolactic fermentation is carried out without the addition of bacteria, and the winery is kept at 20ºC for 24 days, monitoring the levels of malic and lactic acid.
The wine ages for 12 months in new and 2-year-old French oak barrels with a selected grain of 300 liters.
