Delmoro Tinto

VARIETALS
85% Garnacha 15% Syrah

NOTES

VINEYARD: From vineyards near the village of Venta del Moro between 15 and 50 years old. The Garnacha comes from a 4ha single-vineyard named Guindal planted in 1987 at 600m. Bush-trained, old-vine Syrah makes up the remainder of the blend.

VINIFICATION: After a rigorous selection in the vineyard, each variety is hand-harvested separately and 70% of the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, while 30% are vinified as whole bunches with stem inclusion. Garnacha and syrah are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts, followed by eight months aging in stainless steel for garnacha and concrete tanks for syrah. The two varieties are then blended and rested before a very light filtration, but no fining, before bottling.
