THE MODERN INTERPRETATION OF TEMPRANILLO AT HIGH ALTITUDE

FINCA DE ALTURA was made by Dominio Basconcillos to present a new expression of wine made with Tempranillo grape grown at 960 m where risk is a constant and nature poses various challenges. We are driven by the firm conviction of transforming the exceptional resources from our vineyard with its uniqueness of our soils, climate and biodiversity into a new concept of wine.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VINTAGE
Rainy winter with low temperatures, followed by more spring rains, promoted early sprouting and vegetative development with good water reserves. Warm summer with peaks of 38-40ºC and cool nights favored a slow polyphenolic
maturation. Harvest in late september early october with mild temperatures for optimal harvesting and a perfect sanitary condition of the grapes.
ELABORATION AND AGING
We make a careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard and transport to the winery in small boxes of 12 kilos to maintain maximum respect for the quality of the fruit. Once in the
winery, a final selection on the sorting table will ensure the optimal conditions of health and maturity with the subsequent cold
pre-fermentation maceration at 5ºC for 5 days. All this to achieve a greater polyphenolic extraction by means of a gentle daily pumping
over. The vineyard's own yeasts carry out alcoholic fermentation spontaneously, and with
controlled temperatures between 20-26ºC. Finca de Altura performs malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 20-22ºC and is aged in French oak barrels under controlled conditions of humidity and temperature (75% and 12ºC respectively).
TASTING NOTES
Appearance: Deep intense ruby color,
purple to the rim. Bright and shiny.

Nose: Fine and elegant with a marked fruity character of fresh summer berries mingled with the subtle hint of spice and toast in the
background.

Palate: Very pleasant spicy cherry with silky texture and mineral notes, typical of this chalky and stony soils at high altitude. Quite balanced acidity finely wrapped with silky and polished tannins and subtle hints of toast, spices and nuts that fill the palate with pleasant sensations.

or rabbit) even roasted red ones, such as kid goat, suckling lamb or pig; semi-cured cheeses and some blue fish. It admits mushrooms and dishes of salted cod.
