Vina Palaciega Reserva 2006 is a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha grapes.Vina Palaciega Reserva is a full flavoured wine of great character and depth. A bouquet of herbs, leather and spices bursts from the glass,whilst the rich,textured palate offers concentrated ripe cherries,layered with earthiness and spice.The tannins are silky and well balanced resulting in a long elegant finish.Drinking well now but will develop further in the bottle.A fantastic partner to roasted vegetables and mature hard cheeses.
The grapes are carefully selected,de-stemmed then partially crushed with a high proportion of full berries.The juice then undergoes a 15-20 day maceration period with pumping over taking place daily.A controlled fermentation follows at between 24 -28 degrees C,using both native and selected yeasts.The wine spends 2 years in medium toasted American oak casks which contribute spicy aromas and flavours.The wine was then aged in the bottle.
