Chivite Red Wine Collection 125 Reserva

J.

Chivite Family Estates presents the Chivite Collection 125 Reserva Red Wine.

The Legardeta Estate is located in the geographically extreme position for the cultivation of the Tempranillo variety, in fact being the northern boundary of this variety.

In Legardeta, Tempranillo occupies a medium altitude and is planted in soils that are not too fertile, which are the starting point for obtaining balanced vegetation, controlled production, and small-to-medium-sized bunches and berries.

Furthermore, the special climatic conditions allow this variety to ripen perfectly, without over-ripening and maintaining optimal acidity levels to produce wines with character, freshness and aging potential.

The Colección 125 Reserva comes from the selection of the best plots of the Tempranillo variety from the Legardeta estate, which are carefully hand-harvested in small 200 kg containers.

Later in the winery, the grapes are selected and gravity-fed into 20,000 kg stainless steel tanks, where the wine ferments at a controlled temperature.

During this process, gentle extraction through manual pumping is essential.

Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is gravity-fed into French oak barrels where it will remain, depending on the characteristics of the vintage, for between 15 and 18 months.

Collection 125 was first launched in 1985 to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the first export from the Chivite winery in 1860.

This red wine comes from the selection of the best plots of the Tempranillo variety, from the Finca Legardeta located in Navarra.

Thanks to its geographical location and the influence of the Atlantic and continental climates, the result is an exceptional wine, recognized with 94 points by the Peñín Guide.

Chivite Family Estates is a winery that, having been founded in 1647, is one of the dynasties with the longest history in Spain.

Eleven generations of Chivites have passed on the torch of winemaking tradition.

During this time, the Chivite house has grown, adapted to the new demands of the market and the consumer, and has created a brand that today is synonymous with maturity, elegance and know-how.

The excellent cultivation of the vine takes place mainly in the well-known Finca Legardeta, located 40 km from Pamplona, ​​right where the Atlantic and Continental climates meet.

Currently, the estate occupies 103 hectares of vineyard, which, perfectly integrated into the ecosystem of scrubland and native woodland, and due to the climatic conditions, gives rise to a slow and complete ripening of the grapes that shape the profile of the Chivite product range of quality, freshness and elegance.
