Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: 90% Tinto Fino, 10% Merlot
Made entirely with grapes from the Monte Alto estate (900 meters above sea level), it shares the same winemaking philosophy with the rest of the winery's wines, aimed at offering friendliness, roundness, freshness, aromatic richness and varietal expression. The clay-calcareous soil and stones, the lack of rain and the intense thermal contrasts give the wine a very special intensity. Semele Crianza is a red wine that goes into barrels without being filtered or clarified previously (that is, in the stem). It remained in those barrels for 12 months, during which time 3 rackings were carried out. 20% of these barrels are renewed annually.
TASTING
View:
Cherry color with maroon edge and medium-high layer.
Nose:
The first impact is of ripe black fruit, but spices derived from aging in oak soon appear (clove and cinnamon) accompanied by hints of coconut and licorice. A vegetal note reminds us that the Merlot grape is part of its cut, also providing extra sponginess; Chocolate and coffee recall the toasting of the barrel.
Mouth:
Broad, but delicate, with sweet tannins and good freshness. Its touch is creamy and the aromas of red fruits in liqueur make it extremely seductive. It lasts several minutes in the olfactory memory after the last sip. Service temperature: 16ºC
