Introduction
IDEAL RED 2019
Winemaking
After a careful selection in the vineyard, these grapes were transported to the winery using 15kg boxes in order to respect and preserve the integrity of the grapes. The alcoholic fermentation took place in thermoregulated stainless steel vats and lasted 6 weeks. The malolactic fermentation followed and took place in French oak barrels. The wine remained there for 18 months. After several tasting of all the barrels idealized for this wine, the IDEAIS barrels were chosen in order to compose a blend of harmonious and authentic wine.

Tasting notes
Beautiful ruby color, with good concentration. The aroma is young, rich and complex with notes of black pepper combined with red and wild fruits, where raspberry and cherry stand out. The wood is well matched with some smoked notes. It also shows mineral aromas of wet stone. In the mouth it has claw and nerve, it is complex and has a good structure. However, it is thin and elegant. Very well integrated tannins, with good acidity that gives it a long and very pleasant aftertaste and that allows for a good evolution in the bottle.
