2012 Isaac fernandez Seleccion Finca La Mata Ribera del Duero

Produced from 100% Tinta del Pais from two different vineyards with an average age of 60 years old. Production methods are very similar as for the Rios de Tinta with hand harvested fruit sorted prior to destemming and light crushing. Cooled pre-fermentation maceration helps to attain a deep color and intense fruit aromas. Native microbes are encouraged to complete both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. There were no additions of yeast or malo bacteria. The wine was aged for 8 months in 225 liter barrels prior to assembling the final blend.
