Enate - Tempranillo Tapas - 2023
Harvest
Mainly Tempranillo, from our Alcanetos vineyard, with small percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
The vintage began with higher than normal temperatures, as the winter was dry and not very cold. After quite a rainy spring with some particularly cold mornings at the end of April, summer arrived with moderate temperatures and dry weather. The harvest began slowly on the night of 23 August. At the beginning of September, a heatwave speeded up the ripening of the white varieties and the Merlot. The temperatures fell in the middle of the month and we ended the harvest gradually and quietly

Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed and the must was then fermented at 24 Celsius in stainless steel tanks. Once malolactic fermentation was complete the wine was clarified and stabilised preserving its youthful character to the full.
