Description
Winemaking
Grapes: Bobal, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
For the production of Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera 2016 wine the best grapes from low-production strains are selected and the grapes are only harvested in the morning to maintain a good temperature in the grapes until they arrive at the winery, where the boxes are placed in a cold room, keeping the grapes at -10ºC. It is destemmed and vatted in new American oak barrels, into which a water-cooled stainless steel plate is inserted to allow cold maceration at 8ºC. The hat is sunk daily, barrel by barrel, manually and once fermentation has started, the cooling water is turned off so that the barrel itself can reach a maximum temperature of 26ºC. After 12 days, the grapes are removed from the vat in the pneumatic press for light pressing. The production of the different grape varieties is carried out separately and after a minimum of 20 months in American oak and fine-grained French oak barrels, the final blend is prepared, filtering it lightly before bottling.
