ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
The Encantador wines are as charming as their Spanish origins. From the country that gave us Gaudi, Blahnik, Almodovar and Iniesta, we give you…Encantador! Now you see it, now you don’t!! The quirky presentation is a nod to the current trend for a twist of the unconventional; capturing the irony and sense of humour that is the essence of this latest labelling vogue. Yes, it’s a bit edgy, and it’s a bit off the wall! The innovative team of winemakers have been busy crafting the quality fruit into wines bursting with fresh flavours and finesse. We think it’s good to try something a little off the wall every now and then, one sip and you’ll be charmed.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in the DO Uclés, in Central Castile. The majority of the grapes are from lower yielding, dry-farmed, old vines that are grown using organic preparations. The vineyards are managed and cultivated following a sustainable ethos. The climate is continental with warm summers and cold winters. The temperature difference between the warm days and cooler night promotes a long ripening period, encouraging the grapes to develop rich varietal characteristics while retaining balancing acidity. The average rainfall is approximately 500 millimetres per year.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
Grapes were picked in the early morning and immediately transported to the state-ofthe-art winery. The berries were destalked, lightly crushed and fermented under temperature controlled conditions in stainless steel tanks. A post fermentation maceration lasted for eight to 10 days in order to achieve a perfectly balanced style without excessive extraction. The wine was made in an unoaked style to achieve a pure expression of this Tempranillo Syrah blend.
OUR TASTING NOTES:
A juicy red wine with inviting aromas of red fruits, blackberries and a spicy note of freshly ground pepper. Medium bodied with velvety tannins and a fresh finish.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Tempranillo 85%, Syrah 15%.
