Product Description
Details
Produced by bodega Secastilla, a brand of Viñas del Vero, Secastilla from Somontano departs from the traditional wine producing style of the region, based upon international grape varieties.
In contrast, this Spanish red wine comes solely from over 70-year-old Grenache vines grown in the Secastilla valley. Located at an altitude over 700 metres, the area has rocky soils and a Mediterranean climate with a strong Continental influence.
Picked by hand at dawn in the beginning of October, the grapes were destemmed and underwent a pre-fermentation maceration for 3 days. After that, the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature, and then it went through a spontaneous malolactic fermentation.
Finally, Secastilla 2018 was aged for 10 months in French oak barrels from Allier. It was gently filtered before bottling.
This old-vines Grenache is a prime example of a fine red wine from Somontano.
Decant 40 to 60 minutes before drinking. Pair this Crianza red wine with roast dishes, casseroles and game recipes.
