CUENTA VINA RIOJA GARNACHA CDVIN 750ML

In 2019 Eduardo banded together with a small group of young growers to farm together and bottle independently Garnacha based wines from the village of Cordovín in the Alta Najerilla valley, in the foothills of the Sierra de la Demanda. For decades, the centenary Garnacha vineyards planted in iron rich soils have been undervalued and almost exclusively used for the production of rosé. Tejares vineyard, located in the upper Najerilla Valley in the village of Cordovín, for which the wine is named. Located in the foothills of the Sierra de la Demanda, with a northern exposition. The grapes undergo rigorous double-manual sorting, both before and after destemming. The whole berries ferment spontaneously in 3,000L French oak vats, with very gentle extraction via pigeage. Total maceration lasts around 20 days. Gentle pressing in a vertical basket press. Late malolactic fermentation (May-June) in neutral 500L French puncheon. Aged 14 months in 500L French puncheon and 3 months in bottle in an 18th-century underground cave. Due to the low temperatures and high humidity, the rate of oxidation is reduced allowing Eduardo to work with low levels of SO2.
