Vintage Notes
The harvest took place in October 2011. Grapes were picked and selected by hand, and transferred in boxes of 16 Kg. from the vineyards “Hontanillas” and “Los Hoyos”.
Winemaking
Salcis captures the essence of the region, with vines over 50 years old, craft growing techniques and manual picking, a production which tries to conserve and care for the fruit, mainly by it being produced by gravityflow. It only uses gravity to move the grapes, in such a way so that all the organoleptic qualities remain intact to the very end of the process and the final product. Hand selection process with the maximum care. Pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation and normal maceration lasted approximately 30 days, at a temperature of 24ºC. The wine is then aged in oak for 15 months.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A complex, exquisite aroma of balsamic blackberries and mineral hints.
Palate: Intense, with vanilla, liquorice and red berries lingering on the palate. Perfectly balanced with sweet and gentle tannins, this wine is elegant with a long delicious finish.
