VINEYARD AND WINEMAKING
Finca El Castillo is special because of its location. It has very poor soils, made up of a mixture of clay and sand composed of red silt with carbonate intercalations, sandstone and conglomerates. A land that, due to its characteristics, orientation and the altitude at which it is located (870 metres) is ideal for Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) and for making a unique wine such as Ancestral.
The grapes are harvested by hand and selected twice, first in the vineyard itself. After a maximum time of three hours, the grapes arrive at the winery to begin a long and delicate process, which reproduces step by step the traditional recipe of our ancestors.
Spontaneous fermentation takes place after a cold maceration of 24 hours. The fermentation temperature does not exceed 26ºC. The wine is aged in 2,500 litre foudres in order to give it the characteristics that define it.
