Initio – Las Moradas de San Martín
Clean and bright with deep cherry red colour giving way to an attractive crimson tinge at the rim.
The Garnacha is clearly distinguishable on the nose, a variety with great aromatic complexity. Subtly sweet aromas reveal blackberry jam, prunes, orange blossom, liquorice and cocoa alonside a variety of wild, aromatic plants on a mineral background. On the palate it is lively, elegant, mouth-filling and structured with a deep, lingering persistence that makes it unique.

Vinification: The grapes were selected by plot and underwent cold pre-fermentation maceration in tanks for a week. This was followed by natural fermentation using yeast present in the grapes over a period of three weeks, without any additives or corrective measures being used. Once malolactic fermentation had taken place, the wine underwent ageing in French oak barrels for a total of 14 months, and was later blended to achieve the required coupage. The wine was bottled without filtering or clarification.
Bottling: June 2013
