MANUEL QUINTANO EL SAUCO red wine bottle 0.75 L

El Saúco is our most mineral and delicate Tempranillo vineyard. It is over 80 years old and is located at 485 metres above sea level, where it lives on sandy soil with a calcareous composition. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 5 days until the spontaneous start of alcoholic fermentation. Production in an open 5000 kg wooden vat with manual pumping over and stomping. Subsequent ageing for 20 months in French oak barrels. Clean and bright, with great colour intensity and a cherry red colour. Great complexity on the nose, which grows as the wine breathes. Floral nuances of violets, balsamic and pastry touches appear. Medium-high volume on the palate, it shows all its potential at the end, displaying levels of length, persistence and finesse that are out of the ordinary. The subtle presence of the wood helps to elevate the wine from a discreet second plane.
