“Vinum” Spanien explodiert, November 2000”:
Temperature controlled fermentation (27-29ºC; natural yeast)
Maceration: 14-21 days; all varieties were vinified separately
Malolactic fermentation in tank
Very soft fining before bottling
Not cold stabilized, light filtration
After blending aged for 3 months in tank before bottling
12 months in new and one year old French oak barrels, light and medium toasted
Age of vines: 40-75 years old Garnacha and Cariñena, 15-25 years old Cabernet Sauvignon
Soil: clay, granite, several plots of slate
“Costers” means slopes: these are north-east facing slopes and old granite terraces so vines get the early morning sunshine but are in the shade from 5pm on, resulting in cooler night temperature, high acidity, long ripening, late harvest, and much more pronounced polyphenol structure, particularly in ripe (but not hard) tannins.
Harvest is delayed by two weeks compared to the “sunny” opposite side of the valley
Altitude: 250-480m
Pruning: traditional bush vines; Cabernet Sauvignon on wire
Handpicked
Harvest from mid-September until mid-October
Yield:
– 700g – 1400g per vine
– 30-45hl/ha
14,5% vol. Alcohol
4,90 g/l acidity (tartaric)
<1 g/l residual sugar
20.000 bottles (75cl.)
200 bottles Magnum
