Callejo Crianza 2006

VARIETY

100% Tinto Fino of old vessel vineyards.

ELABORATION

The grapes are picked by hand at the beginning of October. They are collected in plastic bins and sorted on a sorting table. The fruit then goes into stainless steel vats where the juice is fermented under controlled temperature.
After the alcoholic fermentation the maceration of this wine is extended for 20 more days in the presence of the skins. Following that, the wine is collected to do the malolactic fermentation at a constant temperature of 20ºC.
The result of this fermentation is a wine with an alcohol content of 14% by vol.

AGENING

The wine was then racked off to new American and French oak barrels in November to begin ageing for 12 months. This wine was in contact with the fine lees for four moths before the transfer.

BOTTLED

In Januaryl 2008 we bottled 145.000, 750ml volumes of this wine.
