Conde de San Cristóbal Reserva Especial

Vintage

2020 is a vintage of great interest, yielding genuine wines, contained alcoholic degree, fresh, medium-bodied wines with lots of red fruit. Weather conditions were very favourable, without incident and abundant rains in spring yielding a short cycle year. The summer was hot and dry but subsoil water reserves played in our favour with good night/ day thermal contrast. Older age vines played a role, providing greater resistance to drought with low yields, completing the ripening cycle without setbacks and ten days earlier than usual.

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.
