Dalmau Reserva 2016

Marqués de Murrieta (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Dalmau Reserva 2016 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): DALMAU 2016 OWN SINGLE VINEYARD WINEMAKING MANUAL HARVEST GRAPE VARIETY 82% Tempranillo, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Graciano. BARREL AGEING PROCESS 23 months in 225-litre new French Allier oak barrels. Grapes are first carefully de-stemmed and then each variety ferments separately for 11 days. Tempranillo ferments in stainless steel and Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano in small oak vats. Pumping over and delestage (rack-and-return) operations are carried out on a daily basis. A selection of the best fruit available from our old 9-hectare (22-acres) single vineyard called Canajas plot, located at 465 metres above sea level. Its soil is mainly iron-clay, with a stony topsoil, which favours optimal ripening. After veraison, crop-thinning is carried out, selecting bunches with small berries in order to limit production up to 1 kilogram per vine. SERVING SUGGESTIONS Recommended serving temperature: 16° - 17° C (60° - 63° F) to let the wine breathe and show its full aromatic potential. PAIRING Manually selected harvest done in small crates so that grapes reach the winery as soon as possible and in perfect conditions. The graciano was hand-picked on October 7, the tempranillo on October 9 and cabernet sauvignon on October 15.
