WE CREATE
3.000 bottles of 0,75 cl.
“We have in our region vineyards of Garnacha, Tempranillo and Shyra that due to their orientation, height and age are unique. Senderos de Gredos is the combination of the exceptional characteristics of each one of them”.
HARVEST
Manual harvest in perforated boxes. Weight per box between 15 and 18 kilos. Classification of clusters in the vineyard itself and at the selection table.
VINIFICATION
Vinification in steel tank. Total grape destemming and fermentation with native yeasts. Long maceration in search of great extraction. Comebacks and long bazuqueos. Once the fermentation is finished, it remains in tank for the time determined by the vintage. Pressed in pneumatic press. Separation of press wine based on tasting.
AGEING
In a single 2.500 liter fudre for at least 12 months. The length of aging is determined by weekly tastings that are complemented by technical analysis.
The way of cultivation in all our vineyards is the Traditional Agriculture of the region.
No type of systemic product is used for pests. Occasionally, if the year is very rainy, the only pest that can develop is powdery mildew, which is combated with powdered sulfur. As has been done historically. Other pests are not observed in the area. In 2021, a single preventive treatment was applied at the beginning of sprouting.
The fertilizers are organic with a mixture of manure from different animals.
Pruning is entirely manual. The pruning remains are crushed and left in the vineyard to increase the texture of the soil.
In 2021, the yield per hectare was 1,600 kilograms. This gives us a yield of 940 grams/strain.
VIEW
Cherry red color with garnet nuances in the trim. Intense and deep, with a high layer. When shaking the glass it shows a good alcoholic tear.
AROMAS
High aromatic intensity, very clean, where aromas of scrubland and black fruit in compote are combined with balsamic sensations. Complex nose with abundant notes very well assembled.
TASTE
In the mouth it has a tasty body, with very round tannins. With a powerful acidity that transmits freshness.
