Akutain Description
From Gembres, the bodega’s highest altitude vineyard that was planted in 1986, and Manzanera, the vineyard around the winery planted in 1975.
Vinification Method: The grapes were destemmed and pressed with a vertical press, then macerated on their skins for 2 days before fermentation in fiberglass and steel tanks with native yeasts at controlled temperatures. The wine went through malolactic fermentation and rested over the winter in the same vessels with 3 rackings. Finally, the wine is transferred to a mix of French and American oak barrels, where it rests for 35 months with monthly racking. Bottled without clarification, only a very light filtering with a large mesh, and rested for 1 year in bottle before release.
