Petit Vega 18 Meses En Barrica has freshness (altitude of vineyards) and a velvety vanilla opulence (from ageing). The nose opens to reveal liquorice, red curant, cherry and strawberry florals, cocoa, and toast. The textured palate has a core of juicy red and black fruit loaded with vanilla spice. There's just enough tannin and acidity to support the generous levels of fruit flavour, making it really fun and approachable.
The fruit comes from vines with an average age of 30 years growing in the San Juan vineyard, located at 900 metres altitude in Ribero del Duero. The average age of the vines is 30-years-old.
Handpicking of the fruit. 100% de-stemmed grapes. Fermentation under
controlled temperature in wood, stainless steel and concrete tanks. Ages in French oak barrels for 18 months and further 6 months in bottle.
