Mil Cepas Cencibel

Plot Wine: Mil Cepas Place: Las Hoyas de Río Záncara (El Provencio, Cuenca) Production: 3600 botellas Variety 100% Cencibel (Tempranillo)

Vineyard age

35 years, on a single 0.9 ha plot. We work with traditional, practically organic viticulture, always looking for healthy, ripe, and balanced grapes. An excellent raw material. All the work in the vineyard, winter pruning, green pruning and harvest, monitoring of ripening has been carried out solely by Manuel and Paloma. Not a single treatment has been carried out in the vineyard since the 2014 vintage, nor has any type of product been applied in the vineyard.

Soil type

Sandy, with gravel in the subsoil, poor, fresh, loose and well drained. Manual harvest on September 6, at the optimal ripening moment of the plot. A warm vintage with rainfall within the norm, with a summer with several episodes of extreme heat, although with a great thermal amplitude at the end of summer it was possible to reach a harvest date usual in the area, maintaining the freshness and agility of this wine.

Fermentation

at 22ºC in stainless tanks with native yeast, seeking respect and the typicality of the raw material. Spontaneous Malolactic Fermentation of a wine in French oak barrels. Aging a wine for 14 months in French oak barrels. Mil Cepas is the pride of our family, our first Plot Wine, a Cencibel, in a unique terroir of sandy soil, a very direct wine with generous red fruit, and delicate floral notes, in the mouth it is fresh, pleasant and with good tension .
