Only the oldest vineyards are used for Triga production. The grapes come from 5 vineyards, one of which was planted in 1925. The four Monastrell vineyards are located in the Sierra de Salinas, Umbría and La Sima. The Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard is in the Sierra de Salinas planted in 1981. Altitude: 600-750 meters above sea level. The vines are carefully monitored at all stages and processes, pruning, flowering, fruiting, veraison, ripening and harvesting. These vineyards have very low yields, around 1to/Ha. Fossilized limestone soils with a top layer full of limestone. All planted in goblet in strict dry farming.
Each parcel is harvested by hand, vinified and aged separately. The best clusters are selected in the vineyard and later in the winery on a selection table. After destemming, the grapes are transferred to open tanks of 5000 kg. where they remain for about a week with continuous pumping over to achieve a uniform maceration. During this time alcoholic fermentation also begins. Later, the wine is transferred to a vertical press where it is gently and slowly pressed for 12 hours before being transferred to new French oak barrels from various cooperages personally selected by Rafa Cañizares. In these barrels the wine completes alcoholic fermentation and begins malolactic fermentation before aging for 22 months. This wine is bottled for its enjoyment in the most artisanal way possible, without fining or filtration.
Opaque purple. Explosive aromas of black and blue fruits develop into notes of licorice, Indian spices and floral oils. Rich and long, it has a good acidity that gives it elegance. On the palate, sweet blueberries and currants stain the palate with persistence on a concentrated and elegant finish.
