Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2018

Marqués de Murrieta (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Marqués de Murrieta Reserva 2018 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): Own vineyards Grapes are sourced from our Ygay Estate: 300 hectares of vineyards surrounding the winery in the southernmost point of Rioja Alta with mainly calcareous-clay soils. Altitude ranges from 320 to 485 meters. Manual harvest October 1-20, 2018. Winemaking Grapes are first de-stemmed and then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 8-10 days, with constant skin contact. During fermentation pumping over and punching down operations are regularly carried out. These processes ensure both effective and gentle color and aroma extraction. Afterwards the solid parts of the grapes are squashed in a vertical press. This is a gentle process that extracts color and ripe tannins from the grapes skin. Ageing process The wine is aged for 21 months in 225-litre American oak barrels.
