Chocapalha Cabernet Sauvignon Tinto 2021

Grape varieties: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 31 year old vineyards.

Tasting Notes: Intense violet color. The wine has typical aromas of the variety, with the traditional combination of spices and fruit ripe, with notes of blackberry and currant. In the mouth, it presents a discreet acidity combined with ripe fruit and soft tannins. The finish is fresh and very elegant.

Winemaking: The grapes, previously destemmed, underwent a pre-fermentative maceration at low temperatures, for 12 hours. The alcoholic fermentation took place in a stainless steel vat for 11 days, not exceeding 25ºC. Stage and fermentation malolactic occurred 40% in new French oak barrels and 60% in new second-year barrels for 12 months.
