Varietal De Ondarre Mazuelo

Made using grapes from old Mazuelo vines, in early harvests and selected vintages. Smooth, even fermentation at 24ºC, with maceration over a period of 2 weeks in new, Missouri-sourced oak casks, where it remained for 2 to 3 months. Barrel ageing was done in 225-litre oak casks, of which 75% were made of American wood (the rest being French Allier), and it lasted for 20 months with 4 rackings per year. The barrels where ageing took place were all from brand new to 7 years of age. Very lively, intense red colour with medium-high depth of colour. Wide range of aromas in which the floral notes give way to red fruits, such as redcurrants, strawberries and cherries. As any good Mazuelo it has a sharp attack with a firm mouth-feel and a lively sensation of freshness in the finish.
