AQUILON
AQUILON
Aquilon is the crown jewel. A selection of the best: the best vines and the best barrels. A 100% Garnacha wine from 60 to 100 years old vines and aged for 24 months in new barrels. Full-bodied and powerful in the mouth, a wine which is fleshy and fresh, with a great concentration of flavour and excellent balance. It is indeed the very essence of the Garnacha grape.
Additional information
| Variety | 100% Garnacha |
|---|---|
| Garnacha | 60 to 100 years old vines located at an elevation of around 550 meters above sea level in Borja and up to 850 meters in the Tabuenca area. Soils are mainly red clay mixed with sandstones in Tabuenca and gravels and caillous at lower altitudes in Borja area. The vines are trained in the vaso system and undergo vigorous canopy management and green harvest during the maturation process. |
| Elaboration | Vinification process begins in the vineyard where only the most perfectly mature bunches are selected. The fully matured bunches are harvested into small boxes to prevent crushing and taken to triage tables at the winery. The selected grapes are placed into small stainless-steel tanks with a capacity between 7 to 8 tons. The must is then gently basket pressed. The wine is aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels. |
| Tasting notes | Deep cherry red; complex and intense, toasted and mineral, with hints of fruit jam; roasted notes (coffee, toffee). Full-bodied and powerful in the mouth, meaty, fresh and alive; with a great concentration of flavour and excellent balance; tannins of surprising quality, sweet and embracing. The very essence of the Garnacha grape. |
| Drinking temperature | 14ºC – 16ºC |
| Open and decant | 1 hour before serving. |
