Ozalder Limited Edition - Bodega Ozalder

Vineyards:

The grapes come from our own vineyards, located in the villages of Larraga and Oteiza, in the middle region of Navarre. This area is known for its temperate temperature and moderate rainfall, ideal for the slow ripening of the grapes, which results in an excellent polymerization of phenolic and aromatic compounds.

Preparation:

The harvest is done at night, completely avoiding the oxidation of polyphenols and aromatic precursors of the grapes. After several days of cold maceration, the fermentation process begins. We carefully control the picking and delestages, breaking the cap to extract the finest tannins, which give rise to the structure of this great wine. This wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in co-inoculation with alcoholic fermentation. Immediately after that, the wine is stored in our French oak foudre, where it is aged for fifteen months.

Wine tasting:

This wine has a medium-high layer, maintaining after aging a good intensity of colour and a beautiful cherry hue. Its nose is characterized by the intensity of aromas of ripe fruit, mainly black fruit (blackberry, cassis and plum). There are also spicy notes, which are combined with the flavours of roasted coffee and cocoa that blend perfectly with the ripe fruit, giving complexity to this wine, which also enhances the perfect blending resulting from the blending of its two varieties. At the mouth the result is a structured wine, but silky and fat, with well-polished tannins and a strong liquorice taste, which combines with the roasting and the leather of the wood. The finish of the mouth is long and persistent.
