2237 – RED WINE AUGUSTVS RESERVE TRAJANVS – D.O. PENEDES
Characteristics: If there is any red wine that describes the philosophy of our winery, it is this one. The evolution of the varieties makes it a powerful, elegant and long-lasting wine in the mouth, capable of reaching the senses, leaving them face to face with the aromas of leather, tobacco or spices, typical of Cabernet Sauvignon, which in turn merge with the floral notes typical of Cabernet Franc and with the notes of very ripe fruit of Merlot. Character and elegance in its purest form, Avgvstvs Trajanvs is an excellent companion for long winter nights in front of the warmth of a fireplace.
Preparation: The different varieties that make up this blend are harvested on different dates from mid-September for Merlot, late September for Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon and early October for Tempranillo. They are all made separately, with different macerations depending on the varieties and with subsequent aging in 300-liter French oak barrels of second and third year, for about 24 months on average. In December, everything comes out of the barrels and the final blend is made and it goes back to the second-year barrels, a year later. Total 36 months. Once it comes out, the cold of winter is allowed to pass to prepare for bottling, with a light clarification and filtration.
