The Pact of Cardenas Wine 2022 Rooster Eye
A wine that recovers the most authentic local tradition, a red with the soul of a white.
Varietal
Garnacha Tinta and Viura, although there are also stray vines of Tempranillo, Malvasía, Graciano, Mazuelo and some unknown varieties. In all the plots there is co-planting of white and red varieties, the latter being the majority.
Degree
13% Vol
Breeding
12 months of aging, half in a 5,000-litre oak vat and the other half in a small concrete tank.
Vineyard
Three hundred-year-old plots and a fourth planted in 1957 (Los Cabos), in the heart of Alto Najerilla, at 600 meters above sea level. The soils are ferrous clay with a high component of conglomerate rock at their base.
Vintage
Manual harvest in the second half of September.
Elaboration
It was made as a single-estate wine, with the red and white varieties together. It macerated for four days in a concrete tank, where it also partially fermented, although it finished its fermentation in a stainless steel tank.
