Cristóbal Barrel Selection
Cabernet Sauvignon
High-end wines, crafted with selected grapes from our finest high-altitude plots and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
Deep bright ruby color and aromas of spices and green pepper make this Cabernet a faithful exponent of the variety. Its sweet tannins give an attractive structure in the mouth and the twelve months aging in French oak barrels provides notes of vanilla flavor and smoke, resulting in an exceptional, complex and elegant wine.
Vinification
12 months, 70% aged in 1st and 2nd used French oak barrels and 30% in 1st and 2nd used American oak barrels.
Cold pre fermentation maceration for 6 days. Subsequent alcoholic fermentation, induced by selected yeasts with controlled temperatures between 25ºC and 28ºC. Daily pump-overs complemented with delestage during fermentation to facilitate the extraction of aromatic compounds and color. Post fermentation maceration for 6 days.
