Some baked black cherries and dark plums with a drizzle of Mediterranean herbs. Fresh and elegant, with some light berries and roasted thyme on the palate. Soft and fruity.

Description

The label of La Peña illustrates the ancient tradition of the “castell”. This is a human tower built traditionally at festivals in Catalonia and the Valencian Community. These death-defying towers are built on tradition, strength, balance, courage and mindfulness. The experience of watching a team of Castelleres forming a tower is quite breath-taking. It is this spirit of determination and creativity that is the motto for La Peña.

Tasting notes

Deep ruby color with violet reflections. On the nose, aromas of fresh red fruit, blue flowers and spices stand out. In the mouth it’s wide, round and tasty. This is a crowd pleasing wine and very food friendly. -Certified Vegan

Terroir

This wine is produced from three single vineyards located at an altitude of over 1800 feet: Finca El Embalse, Finca El Olivar and Finca El Corral (Caudete). The soils are a poor clay-calcareous earth and the vineyards average 20 years of age.

Vinification

When at optimal ripeness, the grapes are manually and machine harvested from the beginning of September until the middle of October. Pre-fermentation maceration for 3 or 4 days takes place at 41 degrees. Fermentation proceeds in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts at temperatures between 77 and 79 degrees. The wine is then aged for 4 months in 225 and 500 liter French oak barrels and the final aging is in 7,000 liter French oak tanks. The finished wine is then bottle aged a minimum of 2 months prior to release. This wine is clarified using vegetable based products, therefore it is suitable for vegan consumers.
