Protocolo Description
VITICULTURE: Dominio de Eguren manages and controls multiple vineyards in Manchuela Spain. The Eguren family sets themselves apart compared to other Vino de la Tierra wines by selecting vineyards with advanced age and low yields, and performing a rigorous selection of the grapes. SOILS: Poor calcareous clay soils with a high proportion of limestone. The surface is spotted with pebbles, resulting in good surface drainage. CLIMATE: Continental climate with a Mediterranean influence.
WINEMAKING: Cold maceration followed by a six-day fermentation with two pump-over’s daily. Controlled micro-oxygenation during the fermentation. Eight-day post fermentative maceration.
COMMENTS: Through the careful selection of specific vineyards and controlling yields, the Eguren family delved into this project with the philosophy of creating exceptional quality, every day wines at affordable prices. Red fruits such as raspberry complimented with vanilla and spice. Well balanced acid and tannin.
