Vinification of Sierra Salinas Tinto by Bodegas Coviñas

The grapes for the Sierra Salinas Tinto by Bodegas Coviñas grow on calcareous soils at the high altitudes of the Sierra Salinas. This special location ensures optimal temperature differences between day and night, allowing a slow, complete ripening of the berries. The vines develop deep roots, which give the wine its typical freshness and mineral character.

1. The harvest is conducted traditionally in multiple passes to pick only those grapes that have reached their full ripeness, ensuring maximum quality and aromatic complexity.

2. After gentle destemming, the mash ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, facilitating a slow extraction of color and tannins. The controlled fermentation temperature preserves the fruity notes optimally.

3. Subsequently, the wine is aged for several months in French and American oak barrels. Through this maturation process, the wine acquires its soft oak notes and harmonious texture. The barrels are meticulously maintained to ensure a perfect interplay between fruit, wood, and acidity.

4. Finally, the Sierra Salinas Tinto matures further in the bottle for some time before release, ensuring an ideal balance and optimal drinking maturity.
