Viticulture
Venta Jalón is the name given by ancient locals to the area in which the vineyard is settled today.
‘Venta Jalón’s Finca 17’, or ‘Vineyard number 17’, was planted 20 years ago in clay loam soils which make wines with a good concentration, a marked varietal fruit character and ripe tannins.
Winemaking process
Fermentation lasted 8 days, with controlled temperature never exceeding 29ºC, followed by a further 10 days maceration in contact with the skins.
24 months subsequent ageing in both French and American oak barrels, and a further 9 months cellaring in bottle before release.
COLOUR
Impressive, deep dark red colour with violet hues.
Aromas
Rich, complex bouquet showing terroir driven balsamic and spicy varietal character.
PALATE
The mouthfeel is firm, warm and full bodied, with a
subtle underlying mineral character. Expressive, well
structured and with a long, persistent finish.
