Heredad de Baroja Reserva

Vintage

The cycle began with a very rainy autumn. The winter was very cold and loaded with several snowfalls, which resulted in a late sprouting that marked the development of the entire vegetative cycle. Spring was also rainy giving way to a summer in which high temperatures came later than usual. The delay in the cycle was maintained until maturity, beginning the harvest of red grapes on October 15th. The fruit arrived at the winemaking cellar with good sanitary status and maturation. The grades were medium and the levels of acidity fairly balanced giving rise to wines with great potential both for early consumption and for ageing as well as storage.

Winemaking

Following selection of 100% Tempranillo grapes, which are then de-stemmed and crushed, the must is fermented in Ganimede stainless steel deposits, which use the fermentation process? natural release of carbon dioxide to flood the cap automatically. This innovative method avoids oxidation and better preserves the colour and aromas of the wine. The eight days of fermentation is followed by another six days of maceration.
