Marqués de Cáceres Description

ORGANIC FARMING:
Organic cultivation determines and conditions the tools for vineyard health control. Manual
management of the vegetation must be combined with the use of traditional solutions. Tools such as
the reinforcement of the plant’s own defences, the use of biological substances and natural fertilisers,
treatments with minerals present in nature (sulphur, copper, silicon, etc.), the use of plant extracts in
maceration as well as the diffusion of sex hormones in the environment to prevent insects such as the
vine moth, etc. from mating.
SOIL:
The vineyards far this wine feature old soil of alluvial, gravelly nature with excellent drainage and
aeration. The grapes are normally grown under “vegetation cover” every year, or in the other words,
allowing the surrounding vegetation to grow spontaneously, resulting in less strength therefore
enabling the vines to grow at their own pace. In turn, this vegetation serves as nutrient and an agent
to help balance the soil when it is cut down and buried in the vineyard at the end of its annual growth
cycle.
CLIMATE CONDITIONS:
Atlantic, temperate, with marked seasons.

VINEYARD & YIELDS:
13 hectares with yields below the usual average for the area.
HARVESTING:
By hand in 15-kg boxes.
VINIFICATION:
In small stainless-steel vats. The cool grapes go through a sorting table and are placed in vats after
being destemmed. The whole grape is subjected to alcoholic fermentation, which is regulated at a
moderate temperature with a relatively short maceration period in order to obtain a pleasant structure
and a lively fruity expression. Once the fermentation process has ended, the wine is removed from the
vats and pressed. The entire process for the production of this wine consists of just a few procedures
and mechanical work to preserve the natural fragrance of the wine. As well as through a totally
different channel to the rest of the conventional winemaking.
TASTING NOTES:
Ruby colour with vivid glints as well as violet hues. A complex aroma combining red fruits with touches
of liquorice, and delicate traces of aniseed and spices.
Rich and well-rounded in the mouth, with a fresh and youthful finish offering a delightful, smooth
sensation. Lingering fruit persists on the palate providing an enjoyable, refreshing experience,
reflecting the pure essence that comes with nature’s wisdom, safeguarded by its ecological viticulture.
TOTAL TIME IN BARREL:
Three months in second-use American oak barrels. Five months in bottle prior to commercialization.
Serve at 13°-14°C (55°-57°F)
Alcohol Content: 13.5%
