Koyle Single Vineyard Reserva Carménère 2017

Deep purple color in with rich notes of white pepper to the focused flavors of native trees aromas with layers of dried raspberry and red currant.  Velvety tannins emerge from the Tempranillo touch, with explosive notes of freshness coming from a fantastic cool vintage. Elegant and fresh, this  reflects the sense of origin

The grapes were picked in selected lots, coming from our Los Lingues Estate.  The vineyards are biodynamically managed, with stringent water management to preserve the terroir expression.  At optimum yield of 1,5 kg per plant, the grapes are handpicked and brought to the cellar for sorting.  In the tank, cold maceration (for aroma and flavor extraction) takes place over 5 days, followed by fermentation over two weeks at 22 to 24ºC.  Finally, post-fermentation maceration (to extract just the most rounded and silky tannin) takes place.  After this, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for fourteen months.
