Pilares de Ciencuevas Garnacha

share

32,00 € tax incl.

Pilares de Ciencuevas Garnacha is a balanced, fruity and sweet wine, worthy representative of the wines that for centuries were made in our area. When it is matured in the winery, we achieve a perfect blend of the varietal vegetal nuance and ripe tannins, a garnet color with an intense layer and a delicate and wide mouth.

Fermentado Fermented in oak barrels for 326 days.

Elaboration:

In the winery, as a previous step to fermentation and in order to preserve all the aromatic and taste richness of this variety, the must is cold macerated for 7 days at a temperature between 8-14ºC. After fermentation, the finished wine is bathed daily with its own natural lees for at least 2 months, which gives it volume and roundness. Aging in oak barrels for 326 days manages to balance fruit, acidity and minerality and once bottled, it reaches its fullness in darkness and silence at around 14 months.

Tasting:

At sight it shows off garnet colors with cherry tones on the edge and an intense layer. On the nose, subtle aromas of spices such as vanilla and paprika are detected, which finally transfer us to smells such as syrup, cinnamon and scrubland. The barrel perfectly blends the varietal vegetal nuance with elegant toasted notes. On the palate it is silky with a broad and persistent body and with warm and sweet tannins. Memories of very ripe red fruit with a very sweet compote finish that invite us to repeat a sip.

Consumption and tasting:

Optimum consumption temperature between 16-18ºC
We recommend tasting it with all kinds of dishes, appetizers and starters.
