Red Wine Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de las Liebres 2018

This is the new vintage of Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de las Liebres, one of Ribera del Duero's most exclusive Spanish red wines.

A varietal Tinto Fino, this single vineyard red wine is made from grapevines planted at an altitude of 850 metres on the Cuesta de las Liebres vineyard (which translates as "The Hares Slope").

Harvested by hand, after being selected on site and in the cellar the grapes were destemmed and slightly crushed before fermentation, which took place in little oak vats.
