BORDÓN RESERVA
Vineyards
Made from Tempranillo from vineyards in the 3 sub-areas in Rioja with different soil types: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, northward-facing in the foothills of the Sierra de la Demanda.
Preparation
Once the fruit has been chosen, the preparation is based on de-stemming the bunches and a light pressing of the grapes, prior to alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine is aged in medium-roasted American (Ohio) and French oak barrels for at least 30 months, with decanting every 6 months to facilitate the natural filtering process. It then stays in the bottle 6 months for refinement.
Degree: 14%
