2134 – Red Wine Tempus

2134 – RED WINE TEMPUS – D.O. TERRA ALTA

 

Characteristics: The grapes used by Tempus come from vines more than 30 years old located in two small estates with very low production, located in the town of Batea. The grapes are harvested entirely manually and transported in small boxes, in order to preserve the quality of the grapes and prevent them from breaking.

Vinification: When it reaches the cellar, the Tempus grapes macerate for 22 days in stainless steel tanks. Later, in the same containers, a fermentation process is carried out with the skins at a controlled temperature. The aim is to make the wine structured and complex.

Aging: After the various stages of vinification, Tempus rests for ten months in French oak barrels. Before being marketed, it ages for around a year also in the bottle.
