Maturation: 12 months in wooden casks (Fuder)
Award: James Suckling 91 points
The ripe, perfectly healthy grapes yield concentrated, structured wines with a fruity bouquet and fresh acidity, a long finish, and promising potential that will be further enhanced by their maturation in wooden casks. In the cellar, the grapes are first macerated and then fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of around 26 to 28°C within a week. After a total maceration period of 16 days, during which the wine is intended to concentrate as much color, aromas, and tannin from the berry skins as possible, it is carefully drawn off and left to mature for twelve months in small, partly new barrels of French and American oak. After maturation, the different batches are blended back to Altos Ibericos, and the wine is bottled around July or August. It then rests for another six months in the bottle to harmoniously develop under strictly controlled storage conditions (optimal temperature and humidity) before Torres finally releases it for sale.
