Finca San Martín
Characterised by a long growing season and perfect phenolic ripeness. The wines have great aromatic intensity, very good balance in terms of alcohol and acidity, and are ideal for extended ageing.
100% Tempranillo grapes selected from our Vallecilla, Camino de Laguardia, San Martinn I and San Martin II vineyards in the foothills of Sierra de Cantabria.
The harvest is done by hand in boxes, with bunches selected in the vineyard. The grapes are transported to the winery where they undergo natural alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged for 16 months in new American oak barrels made by our
in-house coopers (60%) and in French oak barrels that have previously contained two wines (40%). We carried out three traditional rackings by candlelight, from barrel to barrel, to remove the sediment by hand and to avoid aggressive filtering. Bottled in November 2022.
Bright crimson colour with medium intensity and ruby rim. The nose is fresh with vibrant fruit aromas and hints of wild strawberries, raspberries and cranberries. These red fruit notes are followed by spicy aromas of vanilla, caramel, cedar and liquorice. Balanced on the palate with a lively attack and a smooth and balanced mid-palate. The finish is long with a fruity expression and balsamic notes.
Sausages, snacks, starters, hefty first courses and meats in general.
