The new vintage of Ancestral 2019<\/strong>This is a 100% Tempranillo wine made in the style of the wines of yesteryear, which were a true reflection of the terroir from which they came. For this purpose, only the best grapes from the El Castillo estate in the heart of La Horra, which is located at an altitude of 870 metres and faces south, are used. It is a wine with personality and very complex, with great ageing potential, of which a very limited production is made. A wine that reflects the essence of Balb\u00e1s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VINEYARD AND WINEMAKING<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Spontaneous fermentation takes place after a cold maceration of 24 hours. The fermentation temperature does not exceed 26\u00baC. The wine is aged in 2,500 litre foudres in order to give it the characteristics that define it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
