Winegrowing notes
The harvest began on September the 1st and finished on October the
14th. Summer was somewhat warmer than usual, which brought forward the
harvesting dates, essentially for the Merlot and Syrah varieties. The
arrival of rain and cool temperatures in September delayed the picking
of the Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties. The vinification
was carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 22 to
28°C, with a maceration period of between 15 and 21 days, depending on
the varieties and the winemaking objectives sought for each of them. The
malolactic fermentation took place in tank for all four varieties, at
the end of which the blending was done. The aging time in oak barrels
was 6 months.
Tasting Note
The wine has a medium-deep, clean, cherry-red colour. Faithful to the
style of this brand, it displays a wonderful nose that reveals a
complete palette of fruit aromas, ranging from wild strawberries to
dried peaches, together with notes of scrubland and red liquorice,
against a backdrop of very clean and well integrated oak. First
impression on the palate is fluid, although it gradually gains in
stature, as the fresh berry fruit flavours develop into serious notes of
good oak aging, followed by a long and complex finish.

LasdosCes 2010
Wine type Young red wine aged in oak

Elaboration
Each variety is vinified separately. Fermentation takes place at a
controlled temperature of less than 25° C followed by a maceration
period of two weeks for the Tempranillo and three weeks for the Syrah.
The cap is punched down (turbo-pigeage) two times per day to ensure gentle extraction and the wine is racked and returned (délestage) twice during maceration at one and two thirds of the fermentation process.
The free-run wine of each variety is then aged in two and three-year old French oak barrels during five months. The blending of both varieties takes place just before bottling.

Color and nuance: Bright vibrant cherry red with a brilliant shiny violet rim highlighting the wine’s youth..
Nose : Predominance of red fruit. Soft toasted aromas with subtle balsamic notes.

Color and nuance: Bright vibrant cherry red with a brilliant shiny violet rim highlighting the wine’s youth..
Nose : Predominance of red fruit. Soft toasted aromas with subtle balsamic notes.
Flavour of the Wine: Fresh, smooth and intense. Underlined silky sensation of the Syrah and structure of Bobal.
Overall impression : The relatively short crianza/ageing process results in a youthful, meaty and fruity wine that will match very well with blue fish or fatty fish like sardines, fresh anchovies, mackerel, trout, tuna, bonito, salmon and swordfish - fish with strong flavours complementing the structure and body of such a young wine..
