Wineries (Report No. 1) International Day

(late translation in English of the original post October 13, 2010)

Experiment 1:

sparkling wine (or champagne, cava, sparkling, or whatever ... we need a name!)

We left without picking up some white grapes in the vineyard Airén harvested in November / December for fermented separately and then add them at some point in the process of "champagne." Mix this came late to the Airen "orthodox" in this time and is fermented.

All this in collaboration with Maestro Alfredo (which is what is known as the champagne !!!).

Experiment 2. Airen (carbonic maceration)

We have another batch of Airen we have developed separately. We've got whole bunches, unpressed in a tank and have remained closed for 15 days. At this point each grape must be fermented internally, and should have between 1% and 2% alcohol. Tomorrow or the day after (14 or 15 October) will open the tank, pressed the grapes and leave the end of fermentation.

Experiment 3. Airen (of mother)

Yet another batch of Airen. This time, after squeezing the grapes and left to macerate with the skins for 12 days. We've pressed several days ago (October 10), and this set is also running its course without problems. It has a medium color orange, yellow, brown, and clear aromas more intense than the Airen "normal" with which we work.

Experiment 4. Fermentation in barrel (Gratiano)

last week recovered three old oak barrels found in the attic of the cellar! In fact there were 6 barrels but after soaking thoroughly checked three of them had so many leaks that were sunk. So stemmed and pressed a lot of Graciano, and put it to ferment in the barrels mentioned.

(Look at the Griest between the edges!)

Experiment 5 (which is not the experiment). Petit Verdot

This batch of Petit Verdot grapes would go to three of the barrels recovered, but could not have them, we have put in a stainless steel tank. The experiment at the end was not a big deal except that it is the first time we make Petit Verdot.

Other Wine
Our other wines this year are also in stainless steel tanks, treating them as we have done in previous years, that is, without manipulation unnecessary, or adding substances or quinic.

This year we have:

• Tempranillo (2 lots)
• Airen (4 lots)
Garnacha Graciano
• Shirah
