Sauvignon from average 37 year old vines from their 7
hectare El Consul, 3 hectare La Misela and 7 hectare Terrazas
Estates, manually harvested 8-12th October 2001 in 15 kg boxes.
After fermentation in stainless steel vats of 10,000 kg at
30/31deg.C for 11 days, remontage and pumping occurred daily
for another 14 days. Once racking and malolactic fermentation
were completed, ageing began 12th January 2002 in 267 brand
new Russian oak barrels (Seguin Moreau), racked twice every
4 months, and then every 6 months. Bottled 13th January 2004
without clarification or filtration and released May 2005.
Deep, intense black cherry colour with violet rim. Pronounced,
complex nose with hints of leather and tobacco. Full and rich,
concentrated ripe blackberry, gamey, leathery flavours, superb
structure with very elegant, well-integrated tannins of oak
and fruit. Ready for drinking but has great potential for
improvement in bottle. Time enhances its structure and aromas.
Cork - Natural Extraflow. 14% Vol. Total production 74,000
bottles of 75cl and 3000 bottles of 150cl.
