Fincas De Ganuza Reserva 2016

Description

Fincas de Ganuza Reserva is a wine made from the shoulders of the best clusters from the estate’s youngest vineyards, which are between 25 and 40 years old.

Winemaking

This wine is made using Tempranillo and Graciano grapes, which are harvested by hand in 12 kg boxes and stored in cold storage for 24 hours at a temperature of 4-6ºC once they arrive at the winery. Afterwards, the grapes go through selection tables, where the tips of the shoulders of each bunch are separated.
In this method, only the de-stemmed shoulders are used, i.e. the upper part of the cluster that is more exposed to the sun and, therefore, riper. Fermentation is carried out in compact stainless steel tanks and 7,000-liter French oak vats.
Finally, it is aged in new French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels for 25 months.

Taste

Full-bodied, delicately structured, smooth and persistent on the palate. The wine has a fine acidity that gives it freshness. It is a tasty and well-structured red, which will be even more exquisite after some time in the glass.

A wine with a lot of character

Fincas de Ganuza Reserva is undoubtedly the wine in which most investment has been made, especially in elements related to its aging, to improve its performance among the winery’s extensive range of wines.
It has been kept entirely in new oak barrels since the 2003 vintage, and the only difference with its older brother, the Remírez de Ganuza Reserva, is the age of the vineyards from which the grapes come, which in the case of Fincas de Ganuza Reserva ranges between 25 and 40 years, as previously mentioned.
Try this delicious wine, you will repeat for sure!
