Apellation: DO Montsant
Viticulture and Enology: Xavi Peñas and Pilar Just.
Grape varieties: Red Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Alcohol: 14% vol.
Vinification: The stalks are separated from the grapes in the cellar where fermentation begins and maceration is carried out in stainless tanks. The temperature is carefully maintained at 28-30ºC. After 22 days of maceration the grapes are separated from the must and the malolactic fermentation begins.
Ageing: 12 months in French oak barrels and a small part in American oak barrels. The wine blend is done before aging in the barrel.
Bottling: Before bottling the wine is clarified, followed by a very gentle filtration before the sulphur content is stabalised.
Production: 5.500 bottles.
Tasting notes: Solpost has a lively color. The fruit comes forward on the nose together with some spicy notes, all accompanied by a pleasant freshness. In the mouth, these pleasurable aromas reappear and reveal a complex, silky and extremely elegant wine. Pleasant, round and lingering, Solpost offers pleasure on many levels.
