D.O.Ca. Rioja

Lacrimus 5

4- day criomaceration at 9ºC. The must remains in contact with the skins for 12-15 days to obtain a higher expression of the fruit and colour but not a too high maceration to softens the tannins. Fermentation finishes without the skins and then it begins a two-week micro-oxigenation, after which the malolactic fermentation starts. The wine remains in tank during the cold season and after that it is aged for 5 months in new Amerikan oak barrels with incisions inside that incresase the surface contact.
