Sabina Estate Crianza 2021
DO Navarra, Spain
Tempranillo, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon · 2021 · 14% abv
Cherry-red with ruby edges, showing blackcurrant, plum and cherry wrapped in cinnamon, cocoa and a touch of toast. Velvety on the palate with ripe tannins and lingering fruit spice.
Production
Pre-fermentation maceration for 24 hours at 8º C to obtain a good aromatic extraction. Alcoholic fermentation at 27ºC with selected yeasts, with a period of 18 days to obtain a good concentration. For this wine, only the bleeding (drop by drop) wine is used. Ageing for 12 months in small oak barrels.
Vinyard
From different Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot vineyards which were carefully selected, with different types of limestone soils, among which are sandy-loamy, silty-loamy and clayey-loamy structures, all with excellent drainage and abundant boulders of limestone loams. This perfect drainage allows the monitoring of hydric stress more accurately which helps to improve grape concentration and ripeness.
Pairing
A natural match for lamb cutlets with couscous, but equally good with game stews or slow-roasted vegetables.
