In the press
Aromas of ripe, cocoa-dusted blue fruit, sweet spices and wet stones. Medium-to full- bodied, dense and structured with chewy tannins and a deep core of ripe dark fruit on the palate. Lingering, flavorful finish with hints of chocolate and crushed stones. Drink or hold.
Vineyard
The Cuesta de las Liebres vineyard sits on a slope with a gradient of more than 30%, full of rich biodiversity. 3.36 ha of tempranillo planted in 1993. The vines border on the upper part with a pine forest where various native species of flora and fauna coexist.
Viticulture
The red wine vines are trained by respectful pruning and protecting the sap flows in a vertical vase system. This system takes advantage of the slope to achieve the greatest homogeneity in the ripening process. A great place where the tempranillo shows its purest expression
Vinification
The Cuesta de las Liebres grapes were harvested by hand, an goes under a control of whole bunches, and second manual selection of berries was made after destemming. The must was moved by gravity and the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were carried out in small wooden vats. Aged for 24 months in new 225-liter French oak barrels of extra fine grain.
