WINEMAKING

Our maximum exponent is called SOROS 2005, a special wine the same as the vineyards where it came from. This wine is the product of the selection of vineyards between 45-50 years old. The care of the vineyards is vital to us,
therefore our techniques study thoroughly the growth of the fruit. We study thoroughly the maturation of the grapes in order to harvest the fruits at the optimum moment. The crop is done by hand and the boxes with 10 kg of grapes
each are transported immediately to the cellar. Once there we elaborate in a traditional way during 30 days. Such a wine born ripe that is why it was dedicated to be 6 months in French oak barrels.

THE VINTAGE

Classified as EXCELENT status by the Consejo Regulador. A mild winter was followed by an early spring, bringing forward the onset of the vegetative cycle. In early September temperatures dropped slowing down the grapes´ maturation.
Around 10th April, summer temperatures returned and the final phase of maturation was perfect.
The grapes came to the winery in perfect condition, with a perfect balance of sugars
and polyphenols.

TASTING NOTE

SOROS 2005 is a different wine, of long persistence, with a deep red purple, feeling of happiness while you are drinking it and without doubts as special as the
way it was obtained.
Very expressive, generous in ripe fruits, with indigo reflections that wake up the candy of marshmallow with notes of liquorice and coffee.
A modern and unique wine, with great intensity and persistent in mouth, surprising for its evolution while oxygenates in the glass, silky and very pleasant to
drink.
