About the wine
When harvested, the grapes are collected in small 15 kg boxes and then picked on the selection table. Luis Alegre allows the grapes with their skins to ferment and macerate for at least 20 days in narrow-capacity (7000 kg) stainless steel containers. From there, the liquid is transferred unfiltered into carefully selected barrels made from the finest French, European and American oak and white oak wood. After 14 months of aging in wooden barrels, the wine is bottled, slightly filtered and, after further storage of 6 - 8 months, is delivered to the consumer in optimal condition for consumption.

Tasting note
Intense cherry red of high density with no color change at the hem. Very balanced nose with wonderful nuances. Predominant aromas of pickled and very ripe black fruit with very personal mineral notes from calcareous soils in the background. Pleasant lingering balsam notes (cinnamon, clove) of French oak. Fine wood notes and elegant toasted notes are also clearly noticeable. All these aromas give this Reserva excellent complexity. Meaty, smooth and powerful on the palate. Its ripe pine trees already make this wine ready to drink. At the same time, however, its excellent structure also gives it very interesting expansion potential. A smooth, balanced wine with a long finish.
Culinary recommendation
It goes well with barbecues, lamb dishes but also hard cheeses such as Manchego.
Vinification
This wine is made from grapes from the winery's vineyards with an average age of 60 years. The harvest is carried out by hand and the grapes are sorted out on a selection table directly in the vineyard. Alcohol fermentation and maceration in contact with the mash for 25 days in low-capacity stainless steel containers (12,000 kg). The wine then goes into Quercus Sessilis oak barrels, which are imported from the best forests in Europe (France, Hungary and Croatia), where it is aged for 16 months without filtration. Finally, the wine is bottled again without filtration and aged in the bottle for a further 20 months before reaching the market.
