Callejo 2007,
Four months oak
VARIETY
100% Tinto Fino.
PRODUCTION
The grapes are picked by hand the first week 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 10 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 4 months.
BOTTLED
In March 2008 we bottled 180.000, 750ml volumes of this wine.
