Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 90% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 5% Garnacha.
Marqués de Cáceres Crianza 2019 is made from a completely manual harvest, plot by plot. Its clusters are crushed and destemmed. It has an alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature that starts at 10 ºC until reaching 28 ºC. Its maceration with the skins lasts up to 20 days. Once the malolactic fermentation is finished, which takes place in stainless steel tanks, all the wines are transferred to barrels with racking every 6 months. It is aged for 12 months in split French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels. They are 25% new barrels, 25% two-year-old barrels, 25% three-year-old barrels and 25% maximum four-year-old barrels. Before going on the market, the wine remains in the bottle for at least 1 year.
