Selección Especial

The grapes come from vineyards on reclaimed former open-cast mining land; specific soil parameters for this bottling have not been provided. The wine was fermented with extended skin contact, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrique. It matured for 24 months in new French Allier oak barrels and for at least a further 24 months in bottle. It shows dense plum and black cherry fruit, along with tobacco, spices, coffee and liquorice. On the palate it is full, round and long, with well-integrated acidity and silky tannins. This special selection is produced only in particularly good vintages.
