Tinto Sobre Lias - Care Family Vineyards

With the Care Family Vineyards Tinto Sobre Lias, a first-class red wine finds its way into the glass. It offers a wonderfully dense, purple-red color.

This dry red wine from Care Family Vineyards is for wine lovers who would ideally like 0.0 grams of residual sugar in their wine. The Tinto Sobre Lias comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 3.5 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly velvety and dense texture. Thanks to the balanced acidity, the Tinto Sobre Lias caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel, without lacking freshness. The finish of this well age-worthy red wine from the Aragon wine-growing region, more precisely from Cariñena DO, ultimately convinces with a remarkable length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral hints from the gravel- and limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of Care Family Vineyards Tinto Sobre Lias

The basis for the powerful Tinto Sobre Lias from Aragon are grapes of the Garnacha and Syrah varieties. In Aragon, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone, slate and gravel soils. When perfectly ripe, the grapes for the Tinto Sobre Lias are harvested exclusively by hand, without the use of coarse, less selective machinery. After handpicking, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. There they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures follows. After fermentation, the Tinto Sobre Lias is matured for a few more months in American oak barriques.
