Mil Historias Organic Bobal De Altolandon

Inky ruby. Ripe dark berries, cherry pit, licorice, pipe tobacco and a hint of smokiness on the fragrant nose. Distinctly rich but energetic as well, showing smooth texture and concentrated blackberry, bitter cherry and succulent herb flavors. Finishes long and supple, with rounded tannins supporting lingering dark berry and sweet chewing tobacco notes. Grapes are harvested by hand from certified organic vineyards. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel after a 2 day cold soak. Fermentation on skins lasts around 30 days after which the wine is racked to 2nd and 3rd use French oak barrels for 4 months. The oak softens the wine and does not overtly alter the character. The wine is then racked back to tank where it stabilizes in the cold cellar through the winter. Bottled without fining, filtration, or sulfur.
