Red Reserva

Grapes varieties:

Tempranillo

Vinification:

Trascasas is vinificated only when vintage is exceptionally good. After grapes are harvested by hand, a traditional maceration with their skins takes place during 20 days, depending on the polyphenols richness of the harvest. Alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature, always below 30ºC, followed by a malolactic fermentation at 22ºC. A racking and a fining process that make the wine limpid and stable. Finally, the wine is settled at 5ºC aprox. after which it is ready for aging. The aging period consists on at least 18 months in European oak barrel, most of them French, and 18 months in bottle, always in the best conditions of temperature and moisture. Bottling takes place without any aggressive process, for this reason it may contain sediments, being decanting recommended..
