The 'Dominio de Tares Cepas Viejas Red Wine' is an exquisite crianza that has matured for 9 months in barrels, made exclusively from Mencía grapes from centennial vineyards on terraces and slopes with gravel and iron slate soils. These vineyards, cultivated at altitudes that naturally limit the yield to 4000 kg per hectare, provide the wine with exceptional quality. Its fruit, with very thick pulp and low water content, is carefully selected to ensure good phenolic concentration without sacrificing acidity, resulting in a fresh and vibrant wine. The harvest begins around September 15, with grapes collected in 15 kg boxes and manually selected. After complete destemming, the bunches undergo a three-week maceration process, with pump-overs to maximize their aromatic and flavor potential. Finally, the wine matures in French and American oak barrels for 9 months, allowing malolactic fermentation and further enhancing its complexity. This wine presents an intense ruby color and offers a captivating nose with aromas of candied red and black fruits, hints of licorice, and a touch of clove and toasted nuts. On the palate, it is characterized by a balanced and delicate body, with a persistent finish. Ideal for enjoying now or in the coming years, the 'Dominio de Tares Cepas Viejas' is a perfect choice to accompany your meals and celebrations.
