History

History

La Barbona has December’s eyes and the hands of those who can treasure memories. Her skin smells of fruit and leather. She likes the silence and the low clouds on the hills. Her voice is deep like storms. In the winter evenings you can listen to her telling stories of places where you have never been but that you have always known.

Method

Winemaking

After the pressing process, maceration for 40 days. Fermentation at a temperature of 24-26°C with cultured yeasts. Wine completes its maturation in second and third-fill barrels for 14 months. Blending, light clarification and final filtration.

Aroma

The five senses

Deep and strong ruby-red colour. Strong and fruity wine, with balanced acidity. The alcoholic strength is well-integrated into the wood and liquorice finish, supported by smooth tannin. Rich and balsamic finish.
Mature and full fragrance, with ripe fruits and leather melting in a slightly toasted note. A complete and complex wine.
