Pago de Carraovejas 2021
D.O RIBERA DEL DUERO
Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Country Ink
Description
Pago de Carraovejas is a red wine of the D.O. Ribera del Duero.
Unique character
It is the reflection of the valley to which it owes its name. An environment in which the vines climb the slopes to the moor to form a unique landscape. More than a hundred different plots, resulting from one of the first vineyard soil studies in the country, are worked separately thanks to precision viticulture. The different textures of limestone loams, clays and sandstones force the vines to make an effort to self-regulate and give the best of themselves. The ecological philosophy in viticulture and the specialization in the different pruning techniques achieve an extraordinary balance in the vineyard. Passion for detail in viticulture to enhance the identity of the Carraovejas Valley.
Meticulous winemaking by parcels
The grapes were harvested by hand after an initial selection of clusters in the vineyard. Subsequently, in the winery, a double selection was made: of clusters and berries. Gravity must production allows maximum respect for the raw material. The vatting process is carried out meticulously. During the fermentation process, indigenous yeasts and lactic bacteria from our estate were used. The wine was aged in 225 and 600 liter French and American oak barrels for 12 months. The entire process was marked by precision and care in every detail.
