El Predilecto is a red wine from the Gómez Cruzado winery created to showcase the identity of its terroir. It’s a fruity and fresh wine made with old-vine grapes from the Ebro Valley.
VINIFICATION
Manual harvest of bunches in 200 kg boxes, followed by hand selection of clusters in the cellar. Tempranillo and Garnacha are fermented separately. 100% destemmed, but without crushing. Low temperature-controlled fermentation with native yeast and a short maceration. Subsequently, the two wines are blended and refined in concrete for approximately 6 months. Tempranillo grown on whitish limestone soils characteristic of the Sierra Cantabria and Garnacha grown on ferrous clay soils, reddish in color, with a high iron content.
TASTING NOTE
