Cenicientos is comprised of old vine Garnacha, with a small addition of Cariñena and Garnacha Blanca, planted on sandy soils with gneiss and pink granite in the village of the same name. The grapes were hand-harvested and whole-cluster cold macerated, wild yeast fermented with 100% whole clusters and 32-45 days maceration depending on parcel. The wine was raised in 500 & 600 liter used barrels and 5000l foudre for 12 months, blended in tank for 2 months, bottled with a light fining and without filtration, and bottle aged an additional 11 months before release. This is a lithe and complex single village wine, from high elevation vineyards of the Sierra de Gredos.
