“A wine full of meaning that shows the full beauty of Tempranillo”
The wine pours a spectacular ruby red with a violet hue. On the nose there are aromas of black forest fruits and ripe cherry. Some vanilla and cedar are also present. The wine is medium-bodied with an elegant and velvety texture with a deep and rounded finish. The palate shows exceptionally balanced acidity and minerality characteristic of vines found on limestone soil. Well-integrated tannins give way to a long, persistent and above all – luxurious – finish.
17 comes from a careful selection of grapes from the 35 hectares of the Pinea Estate; a mosaic of nine plots with different characteristics of soil, slope, orientation and age. The perfect synthesis of their terroir.
The grapes are harvested by hand, with a first selection in the field in boxes of between 12 and 14 kilos. Once in the winery, they make a second selection of grapes, keeping only the best bunches. They work the vineyards with the utmost respect for the environment, in alliance with biodiversity and centuries-old traditions, to ensure that the fruit is the star of their wines.
Fermentation is carried out in 10,000-litre stainless steel tanks, with initial cold maceration to preserve all the aromas of the variety. Once the prefermentation phase is over, fermentation continues at a controlled temperature, encouraging the extraction of the colour and polyphenols that give the wine some of its body and complexity. Each vintage of the last 17 have spent at least 2 winters in new and multi-purpose French oak barrels.
