2004 Vintage
D.O. Toro
Grapes: Tempranillo
Origin:
Finca La Meda Alta Expresión is made exclusively from the plots located in “La Pedrera” area. These plots have a very low average production per hectare, and the vineyards´ average age is 70 years old. The harvest is carried out by hand toward the end of September in optimal conditions of maturation. The grapes are transported to the winery in cases of up to 15 Kg. Grapes are chosen from vineyards with a small production of 2,500 Kilograms per Hectare.
Winemaking:
The Tempranillo- Tinta de Toro grapes are carefully selected and then crushed immediately in order to preserve all their qualities. The wine undergoes a period of cold maceration (10ºC), with its own skins, over 4 days. The fermentation is carried out at 28ºC for a further 10 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in Allier French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is aged in American and French oak barrels for 20 months, and, in order to achieve its characteristic “bouquet”, will remain in the bottle for another year.
Tasting notes:
A characteristic garnet colour, this wine is clean and bright. On the nose there are aromas of ripe red fruit, new wood and toasty notes. Traces of vanilla and spice appear, with touches of truffle, praline, citrus, cacao and eucalyptus. Well balanced and pleasant on the palate, there are hints of new wood and nuts. It has a long lasting finish.
Food pairing:
This wine is ideal to enjoy on special occasions. This wine makes an excellent accompaniment to the best roasted meats or powerful starters. Decanting is recommended. Best served at 18ºC.
Alcohol content: 14,5% Vol.
