Chobeo de Peciña

Red Chobeo de Peciña

 

The wine:
The grapes come from vines over 40 years old which were hand harvested in small cases of 15 Kg and selected in a sorting table.

The quality grapes are put through a small destemmer that removes the cluster stalks, leaving only the berries. The exclusive gravity-fed filling system of our own design, ensures the berries reach the fermenters whole, without breaking or releasing any must. That´s what we call a semi-carbonic maceration.

Then, the fruit begins to ferment spontaneously for approximately 15 days with a maceration of 20 days.

The wine was aged in new American oak casks for 9 months, where was racked three times using the traditional “cask to cask” gravity decanting method. Straight after, it was bottled to refine the wood taste of the ageing in casks.
