La Senoba de Rodríguez Sanzo

Estate wine. The bunches are hand selected in the field. The grapes come in on crates to the winery, they are placed in the tank where they remain for a minimum of 6 days at 9º C days before starting the alcoholic fermentation. This process is done in 4.000 and 6.000 litre wooden tanks, where the wine remains for more than 20 days ,in which the fermentation is done. The two grape varieties are processed separately. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine remains on the wooden tanks for the whole winter and in Spring it is moved to new French and Hungarian oak barrels. After a 12 months aging, the blending proportion is decided and the wine is brought again in the same barrels for 6 months.

• Vineyard

  The Tempranillo grape comes from our 50 year old plot Cabizgordo. At an altitude of 620 metres it is the last one of the Monte Yerga slopes in Aldeanueva del Ebro. The Graciano variety is produced in a plot close to Cabizgordo.

• Tasting

  Cherry-red, aroma of matured black fruits, spices and balsamic. Powerful in mouth but very elegant and velvety; great freshness and persistence
