Irrigation: Drip irrigation Altitude: 1 090 masl Year of Planting: 2000 Vineyard Management: Medium-density canopies prevent direct exposure of clusters to sunlight. A no-till system is used to preserve the native vegetation in combination with the use of rye as a cover crop. Vinification Grapes were harvested on April 30th in 20-kilo boxes. Traditional winemaking methods were used including a three-day cold pre-fermentative maceration and manual punching down and pumping over to maximize maceration. Fermentation took place at 25 °C. The resulting wine rested in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks for 9 months. Tasting Notes Color: Intense ruby color. Aroma: Complex aromas where tobbaco paprika graphite and cassis stand above the others. Palate: Good structure with long lasting end and a spicy finish.- Bodega Vistalba
