The Story
The word "Malleolus" comes from the Latin word “majuelo” (small vineyard), a way of referring to the vineyards in Pesquera de Duero. To produce this wine we selected grapes from vines of between 25 and 75 years old, trained both in bush and trellis form.
Variety: 100% Tinto Fino
Winemaking: It macerates with the skin for 18 days. After malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, it ages for 18 months in Allier French oak barrels.
Tasting notes: Of a deep mature cherry color, this wine stands out for the intensity and quality of the sensations it offers. From black fruit aromas to strong and mature tannins that fill our mouth. The integration of fruit and wood offers an exquisite balance.
Wine Information
Production: 193.480 bottles
Vintage: From the month of April until the second quarter of the month of July, the temperatures were higher than usual, which favored the vegetative cycle. The occasional rains in July helped to overcome the high temperatures of the summer. After the ripening, the night time temperatures were quite low, whereas the daytime temperatures were of about 25º Celsius. This favored the maturity and we had an excellent early harvest.
