The work
The young Argentine artist Mauricio Lencina, has shared his painting Illogical Forms # 8 from his 2020 collection to complement an exceptional creation by our youngest and most talented winemakers. Painting and wine seem to arise from an analogous intuition in which the combination of varieties is reflected in the powerful contrast of colors.
Our oenologist preferred to make this wine as Vino de la Tierra de Castilla since the quality of this region is universally known, both for its wines made from native varieties and for those made with foreign varieties that have been exceptionally acclimatized in this mighty land. Today the wines of Tierra de Castilla compete with advantage with wines from Chile or Australia, among others.
Elaboration
To make this delicious wine, the grapes were harvested by hand and put into boxes, carrying out the first selection at the vineyards. Once the grapes reached the winery, a second selection took place again by hand on special tables.
Merlot grapes were aged separately for 4 months in French and American oak barrels, giving its tannins a pleasant roundness and the distinct toasted notes that characterize its aromatic bouquet.
