Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz
Area of production
Valencia is situated near the Mediterranean coast in the east of the country, at an altitude between 250 and 1000 meters. The climate is warm with a strong influence from the Mediterranean Sea. For centuries vines have been grown on the chalky, clay soils which, in combination with long hours of sunshine, produce fruity wines that are well structured with ripe tannins.
Grape Variety
Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz
Winemaking
Careful selection of the best grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed and vinified in stainless steel tanks. Cold maceration at a temperature between 12 and 14ºC. Temperature controlled fermentation at 26ºC, guaranteeing that the primary aromas are maintained. Following the malolactic fermentation the wine is cold stabilized and filtered before bottling.
