Finca San Martín
“The current spirit of a unique land”
Finca San Martín emerges as a second reference from the Torre de Oña winery; a wine produced with Tempranillo grape that emits all the current spirit of the exceptional vines on this estate. Its characteristics are optimum for the production of a Crianza wine that clearly expresses freshness, vivacity, power and fruitiness. A surprising wine which can only be made in this privileged setting; a faithful companion on any gastronomic journey.
PRINCIPAL DATA:
The Finca San Martín vineyard enjoyed a growth cycle in good health conditions. Compared to the previous harvest, rainfalls in mid-September slowed the maturing process down and assisted the alcoholic-phenolic balance. The few sunny and dry days afterwards enabled the grapes to reach their peak of ripeness.
All these factors converged in a high quality raw material to elaborate this wine. The Board of the Qualified Designation of Origin rated this vintage as “very good”.
Composition and origin:
100% Tempranillo grapes from the youngest plantations in the Finca San Martín.
Production and ageing:
Alcoholic fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks for 12 days and malolactic fermentation took 45 days. The wine was transferred to one-year and two-year old French oak casks (59%) and new American oak casks (41%). They were aged for 20 months and traditional cask-to-cask racking occurred three times during that period. It was bottled in May 2011.
Tasting:
Dark cherry red with pink hints on the rim, medium to high robe. Fruity and fresh, it shows good aromatic intensity, with notes of wild fruits on a balsamic background of cedar and tobacco. Balanced on the palate, easy and pleasant to drink, its ripened tannins are nicely integrated which lead to an ample round finish.
