Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 100% Tempranillo.
To make the Finca Los Hoyales 2015 wine, gentle destemming and malolactic fermentation are carried out in new 500-liter French oak barrels. Subsequently, the wine remains in the same barrel, aging on its lees for 22 months without racking, only with gentle stirring from time to time. Bottled unfiltered and left to rest for 10 months before going on sale. The small plot of Los Hoyales was planted in 1958, with 1.8 hectares of old Tempranillo vines oriented from east to west, parallel to the nearby course of the Duero. The vineyard is an expression of life and time and they continue with their trajectory to integrate a measured and coherent biodynamic cultivation. Due to the extraordinary qualities of its grapes, it is one of the great vineyards of the Ribera.
