Callejo Reserva 2005

grape VARIETY

100% Tinto Fino of old vessel vineyards.

production

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 25 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 racked off to new French oak barrels in November to begin ageing for 18 months.
