Cuevas de Arom Os Cantals 2015

"Top of the range, for now, as they hope to one day release a number 1, is the 2015 Os Cantals, cropped from older Garnacha vines, all head-pruned and dry-farmed and planted on stony, deep, limestone and clay soils. After 48 hours in a cold room, the grapes are destemmed and fermented in 600-liter oak foudres with indigenous yeasts. Then the wine is transferred to new barriques for malolactic and an élevage that lasts 10-12 months. This is a wine designed for the long haul, selected from their two best vineyards in the village of Ainzón, with quite an imprint from the élevage right now, and will need more time in bottle. But at this point in time you need to guide yourself by the palate, where the tannins are very fine and there is good balance and freshness. This is a wine from Borja, where power is a given and the challenge is to find finesse and balance. 3,500 bottles were filled in April 2017".
