| Minuet y Trio 2006 (A minuet is a social dance of French origin for two persons. The name is also given to a musical composition written in the same time and rhythm, but when not accompanying an actual dance the pace was quicker. The minuet and trio eventually became the standard third movement in the four-movement classical symphony.*) What started out as our baby, “second-label” red wine, is now finding it’s own rightful place in the range. This vintage is a blend of Tempranillo (60%) and Merlot (40%). The wine was matured in French Oak barrels for 18 months. The vintage was quite a dry one with only moderate rainfall through the winter months and followed by a very long, hot (trouble-free) growing season. This resulted in small berries concentrated with lots of flavour and sugar. A wine with a spicy character showing aromas of plum and cinnamon. Drinking well now but we expect further improvement and maturation in the bottle over the next three years. ANALYSIS Alc. 12,5% , TA 6,2g/l, VA 0.6 * Source: Wikipedia
