Conde de San Cristóbal Reserva Especial

01/06

Vintage

The summer was mild, without excessively high temperatures and there was no rainfall during the months of July and August, however, the vineyard was able to vegetate very well thanks to its water reserves. At the end of September, night temperatures dropped considerably, increasing the thermal amplitude, which helped to advance the phenolic and alcoholic ripening of the grapes. 2021 has been a shorter vintage in production due to the effects of the storm ?Filomena? and the summer drought. We are talking about a vintage with a great balance between maturity and alcoholic strength and thanks to the work carried out in the field (early thinning ...) a correct phenological maturity has been reached and damage due to rot and powdery mildew has been avoided.

Winemaking

We initially select the grape at the vineyard before harvesting by hand, using 12 kg crates. After passing through the selection table, grape bunches are de-stemmed at low speeds before entering the tanks by natural gravity.50% of the fermentation process takes place in 4,500 kg stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of between 16 and 27 o C and the other 50% in French oak barrels. Once fermentation is complete, we leave the wine to macerate with the paste for two weeks.
