Vinos Aurelio García - Alto Horizonte
El Cerro Brujo Garnacha
-
Description :
Location: Navatalgordo, in the Valley of the Alto Alberche, in the province of Avila.
Vineyard: El Cerro Brujo, a single plot of old vine Garnacha planted on a 37% slope
Viticulture: Traditional dry-farmed, organic, biodynamic viticulture. The vines are head-trained and the vineyards are plowed by horse.
Winemaking: After a rigorous selection of the clusters, 100% whole clusters are transferred to 1,000L stainless steel tank. A pigeage is carried out to lightly break up the clusters, which is followed by a 3-4 day pre-fermentative maceration at low temperatures. Fermentation begins spontaneously, and maceration is kept to an absolute minimum, "steeping" the wine with the whole clusters. After fermentation the wine undergoes a gentle press in a vertical basket press.
Aging: Malolactic and 14 months of ageing are carried out in a neutral 500L French puncheon and two 54L glass carboys. Unfined and unfiltered.Grape varieties :
100% Garnacha Tinta
Altitude :
1100m ASL

Vines planted in 1929
Soil :
Given the steep slopes of this site, it is a site with a tremendous amount of erosion, and as a result, the soils are extremely shallow, and are composed of sand originating from the decomposition of the granite mother rock.
