Sietejuntos

Under this heading come year after year between four and five monovarietales with the same front label but with the name of the grape well identified in the counter tag.

The range of red wines is complemented by two other varietals, Mencia that comes with the name of Livre and Rufete that comes out with that of Rufian.

Red wines that nobody will leave indifferent and the important thing is not the volume of bottles / year, the maximum is always the quality.

The name of Sietejuntos comes alone, because initially there were 7 small deposits that I made, 7 are the barrels of tempranillo, 7 are the varietals with which I have fun in Microbio wines, 7 is a cabalistic number that follows me and gives me luck...

Tempranillo

Tempranillo 95% y 5% syrah.

It is the only wine that is not 100% monovarietal. The grape comes from a vineyard in the municipality of Nieva, province of Segovia, and was planted in 1946 in free standing on silica sand and boulder. The cultivated area is 1.26 Ha at an altitude of 900 meters.

Vinification:

The cold grape is destemmed and is kept macerating with the must 4 or 5 days before the start of the alcoholic fermentation. Once this has been started, several overruns are made according to the density and tasting of the must-wine or wine. As we are not in favour of extracting excessive tannin from the skins, nor much colour, the pulp is removed from the barrel and pressed at a density of 1005/1010. Then the wine is put in a barrel to finish the alcoholic fermentation. Therefore, we consider the batton as a friendly tool. After the malolactic, the wine is racked, being generous with the lees. Depending on the years, a different aging time is provided in barrel, usually 12/14 months.

The production is approximately 7/8 barrels per year.

Syrah

100% Syrah

The grape comes from a plot in Nieva, province of Segovia. The vineyard was planted in 1999 on a decomposed gray slate floor, and the grafting wood comes from the Crozes-Hermitage. The cultivated area is of 0.81 Ha.

Winemaking

According to the maturation of the grape is worked with more or less raspón, reaching up to 100% raspón or whole vintage. They are made up and aerated at the beginning of the alcoholic fermentation to extract flowers and fruits, and the second section of the alcoholic fermentation is done with hands and feet. The pressing is smooth and is lowered to Burgundian barrel, coming from white wine, to round the tannins and fix the color.

The production is 2/3 barrels per year.

Merlot

Merlot 100%

The grape comes from a plot in Nieva, province of Segovia. The vineyard was planted in 1999 on a soil of silt and black clay and a subsoil of gray slate. The cultivated area is of 0.81 Ha.

Vinification:

It is always destemmed to obtain the maximum fruitfulness of this noble varietal. A strong aeration is performed at the beginning of the alcoholic fermentation and, in the second section, the hat is dipped gently with hands and feet, so as not to break the skins and not to extract vegetal touches.

Correcaminos

As its name indicates is a young, agile and dynamic wine, with a long and easy drink, nevertheless it does not stop having structure and intensity.

One particularity of these wines is that they are 0,0 SO2, without filtering or clarifying.

Tempranillo 100%

Grape coming from the plot of the rills on a decomposed slate floor.

Elaboration.

There is a slight carbonic maceration and very fast pressing of the pasta, only eight days of contact and fermentation, with about 1020 density the paste is pressed and tucked into deposits to end the FA without being in contact with their skins so as to avoid an excess of tannis.

Once the F.A is finished, the wine is removed and kept closed under supervision to avoid reductions.

Livre

Mencía 100%

Livre is the name of this wine. The grape comes from the municipality of Corullon, province of León (D.O. Bierzo), from a vineyard planted in 1926 in free standing on a slate floor. The north orientation maintains very well the freshness, even in hot vintages. The cultivated area is 0.59 Ha.

Vinification:

It is done 75% de-stemming and 25% of whole cluster. After a fermentation of 22 days we get the subtlety of this varietal. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, it is pressed and, without racking, it is lowered to barrel for its aging that usually lasts between 12/14 months.

The production is 2/3 barrels per year.

Rufián

Rufete 100%

Rufian is the name of this wine and the grape comes from the municipality of Miranda del Castañar, province of Salamanca. The vineyard was planted in 1951 on a decomposed granite floor and an outcropping of slate, on a CLOS plot. The cultivated area is 1.16 Ha.

Vinification:

This varietal is the brother of pinot noir, grape with little colour, good acidity and very floral. It is the most subtle grape of all that we elaborate and, for that reason, pumps are not used for pumping: only works to help the alcoholic fermentation, making pillage with the hands and the feet.

With a density of 1020, the pasta is pressed and the resulting wine is lowered to Burgundian barrels for its aging, being the shortest of our wines with 9/10 months in barrel.

The production is of 2/3 barrels per year.
