Red wine, Tempranillo, Dominio Mateos de la Higuera, Bodega Vega de MaraDominio Mateos de la Higuera – Vega Demara Tempranillo is a red wine made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes sourced from its own vineyards planted since 1976, located in stony-calcareous soils, which provide structure, freshness, and authenticity to the wine, as well as a smooth and creamy texture.
Since August, a thorough control of the ripening process is carried out in each plot, with the aim of harvesting the grapes at their optimal point. The harvest is done manually, with a prior selection in the vineyard to ensure the highest quality of the raw material.
The vinification includes a maceration and fermentation of eight days at low temperature, with frequent pump-overs that allow the extraction of the full aromatic potential of the fruit, preserving its freshness and varietal expression.
