Description

Viña Almate was the name of the first vineyard Alfredo ever planted. This is a cracking Tempranillo made from old bush vines grown on various plots from 700m asl in Peñafiel to 1000m asl in the Valtiendas mountains.

All hand harvested, as is the only way with these vines, the fruit comes into the winery as perfect whole clusters. Alfredo ferments this wine as is - bunches and all.

It results in a lighter, spicier, more fruit forward style of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) which is meant to be drunk in its youth.

50/50 Tempranillo and Grenache picked at two times (‘a dos tiempos’). The first just a few days after veraison, and the second at full ripeness. All hand-picked, de-stemmed and crushed straight after picking. Natural fermentation in stainless steel with daily pump-overs, macerated for 25 days. After settling and malolactic fermentation (approximately 20-30 days), the two picks are racked separately into used French barriques, and allowed to settle before blending and bottling
