Notas del Viñedo

Making notes

We started the vintage by the Tempranillo and, 17 days later, we picked up the grace of Montecillo, last plot that we vintage. The whole grape was transported refrigerated in small boxes to preserve their integrity. We carry out alcoholic fermentation in deposits for 16 days, in the case of Tempranillo and for 18 days in the Graciano. Malolactic fermentation was developed naturally and, in March 2013, the selected wines went to American oak barrels of its own manufacturing with an average age of 3 years. During his three-year aging, they were degraded by the traditional method every 6 months. In March 2016, the last coupage was held, mixing both varieties until reaching the magnificent balance that characterizes this first Viña Arana Gran Reserva.
