Ozalder Young Red -Bodega Ozalder

Vineyards:

The grapes come from our own vineyards, located in the centre of Navarre, in the villages of Larraga and Oteiza. This region is known for its mild temperatures and moderate rainfall, ideal for slow ripening of the grapes. These vineyards are rain-fed, not irrigated, so the level of production is not high. This process produces grapes that have more aromatic strength.

Preparation:

The grapes are harvested by machine. It is then left in fermentative maceration at a temperature of 10ºC to promote the extraction of aromatic compounds. After a few days, the alcoholic fermentation process begins, when lactic bacteria selected to initiate malolactic fermentation at the same time are inoculated (co-inoculation). We consider that this new technique is very positive, due to the final aromatic potential that provides a lot of red fruits that retain a high stable colour index. This process produces a softer wine that is available immediately after the harvest, thus enhancing the absolute freshness of this wine.

Wine tasting:This wine has a medium chromatic layer, with intense purple tones, coming from the careful elaboration technique. Its nose is characterized by the intensity of ripe and sweet notes of red fruit, highlighting strawberry and cherry. On the palate, it is a wine with a soft and sweet taste, which gradually fills the mouth, giving rise to a marked fruity aftertaste. This wine can be characterized by being soft and easy to consume
