Terraesteban Author Red Wine

Bodegas y Viñedos Anceña presents the Terraesteban Author Red Wine from the D.

EITHER.

Ribera del Duero (Spain), made from several varieties of grapes 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo).

Terraesteban Author Red Wine is an exceptional wine whose grapes come from 91-year-old vineyards, cultivated in a goblet system with a limited yield of 2,500 Kg/Ha.

These vineyards are located on clay soils with gravel, on a well-oriented slope that provides ideal conditions for the development of the vine.

The wine is made exclusively with the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) variety.

The harvest is carried out meticulously, manually selecting the bunches in 10 kg boxes, evaluating the phenolic maturity and the quality of the bunch.

They are harvested early to avoid sun exposure and maintain optimal grape quality.

Once at the winery, the grapes are received on a vibrating sorting table to ensure their integrity.

The process is carried out with extreme care, filling the tanks in less than an hour to avoid oxidation.

After a minimum 48-hour pre-fermentation maceration, fermentation is carried out with controlled native yeasts at temperatures below 28ºC.

The total maceration lasts between 18 and 21 days, depending on the vintage and organoleptic analysis.

During winemaking, short and gentle pump-overs are performed 4 to 6 times a day, along with vigorous manual punch-downs for optimal extraction of color and aromas.

The wine is transferred to new barrels where it undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation at 22ºC.

Then, it ages for 16 to 18 months in heavily toasted American oak barrels, selected French oak and Hungarian Central European oak.

Terraesteban Author is a wine that reflects the excellence of its origin, with remarkable complexity and structure.

Its careful aging and time spent in oak barrels give it elegance and character, making it a true jewel of viticulture.
