Description
Our Mas de Bazan Tempranillo comes from old low yielding vineyards of more than 50 years old. In order to create this special release wine, we have selected and harvested by hand, the best tempranillo bunches grown under extreme weather conditions in dry and poor soils. The result: a highly concentrated wine with sweet and matured tannins. After the fermentation (old style in concrete tanks), the wine is matured in French and American oak barriques for 14 months. Periodically the barriques were refilled after each trimester. After bottling, a 2 year maturing process in bottle took place before being released to the market.
Tasting notes
A deep crimson colour. This full bodied wine has fantastic lifted aromas of red berries ( blueberries) and red fruits assembled with fine notes of oak: dry fruits appear in a second layer. In the mouth it is silky, with a perfect balance between alcohol and acidity. The good tannic structure makes this wine pleasant and firm on the palate.
