Cristóbal Barrel Selection
Shiraz
High-end wines, crafted with selected grapes from our finest high-altitude plots and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Elegance, complexity, and harmony prevail in this authentic Shiraz. Great aromatic intensity, with red and black fruits. The twelve months ageing in French and American oak barrels extol the richness of its ripe tannins. Excellent structure and ageing potential.
Vinification
12 months, 70% aged in 1st and 2nd used French oak barrels and 30% in 1st and 2nd used American oak barrels.
Cold pre fermentation maceration for 5 days. Subsequent alcoholic fermentation, induced by selected yeasts with controlled temperatures between 25ºC and 28ºC. Daily pump-overs complemented with delestage during fermentation to facilitate the extraction of aromatic compounds and color. Post fermentation maceration for 5 days.
