AGEING PROCESS Bunches are de-stemmed and gently crushed, before being racked into stainless steel vats. Fermentation takes around eleven days, during which we pump over and punch down the cap in order to extract aromas and poliphenols slowly and naturally. Tempranillo was harvested on the 6th of October and Mazuelo on October the 21th. PAIRING Castillo Ygay is always made from grapes sourced from La Plana, a 40-hectare (98acres) single-vineyard, planted in 1950 and located on a plateau at the highest point of our Finca Ygay, at 485 metres above sea level. SERVING SUGGESTIONS We recommend decanting the wine for 20 minutes and serve at around 14°-16° C to let the wine breathe and show its full aromatic potential. The wine is aged for 24 months in 225-litre American and French oak barrels. BOTTLING DATE March 2015.
