Álvaro de Castro Reserva Red

Manual harvest in 18Kg boxes, careful selection of the best grapes in the vineyard. The grapes were completely destemmed in small stainless steel vats, where they were macerated for 24 hours at low temperature, before starting alcoholic fermentation, with indigenous yeasts and controlled temperature. Alcoholic fermentation lasted 15 days, with mechanical treading for good extraction of color and aromas. After fermentation, it was transferred to new 225L French oak barrels, where it remained for 9 months until completing the malolactic fermentation here. Notes of berries, spices and floral notes typical of the variety. In the mouth it is enveloping with good acidity and a very elegant mineral background.

Classic winemaking. Fermentation at controlled temperature up to 28ºC for 6 days with slight post-fermentation maceration. 11 months aging in French oak. Visually clear, deep red color with purple highlights and some garnet nuances. In the aroma the presence of very ripe red and wild fruits, marrying with notes of spices of great elegance. Intense and deep flavor, structured and with a long aftertaste. Contains sulfites.

Ruby colored wine, very young. On the nose there are aromas of ripe black fruit, notes of pine and pine needles and nuances of truffle and moss. Subtly also appear the barrel notes, where the wine passed for 18 months. In the mouth, it is surprising for its freshness and firm tannin with claw, but refined. It is a wine with a good volume in the mouth, with a long and balanced finish. Contains sulfites.
