Sierra de Gredos + Altitude 2020 Aurelio Garcia

Sierra de Gredos - +Altitud 2020

標高1100m、冷涼が磨くガルナッチャ。

標高1000〜1100m、スペインで最も高く冷涼なガルナッチャ産地のひとつから生まれる赤。房の一部を全房で仕込み、重力による緩やかな抽出の後、コンクリート、伝統的な土桶、ニュートラルなフレンチオーク大樽で14か月熟成させています。赤いベリーや土、下草のアロマにフローラルな印象が重なり、樽の香りは控えめ。花崗岩を思わせるきめ細かいタンニンとシルクのような透明感が印象的です。

Winemaking & technical data

After rigorous bunch selection, 30% of the bunches are de-stemmed without being crushed and pumped to the bottom of 3,300L and 1,000L stainless steel tanks and a 3,500L concrete tank.

The remaining whole bunches are transferred to tanks, where they undergo maceration at low temperature for 4-5 days before fermentation begins naturally.

Gentle extraction is achieved by gravity. After fermentation the wine is gently pressed in a vertical basket press.

Malolactic fermentation and ageing takes place over a period of 14 months, with 30% aging in concrete tanks, 40% in traditional clay vats and 30% in neutral 500L French oak puncheons.
