Callejo Reserva
Magnum 1999

VARIETY

100% Tinto Fino from goblet pruned old grape vines.

ELABORATION

The grapes are picked by hand in mid 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 American oak barrels in December to begin ageing for 20 months.

BOTTLED

In September 2001 we bottled 1.520 bottles, 1,5 L. volumes of this wine.
