Bassus ‘Finca Casilla Herrera’ 6 bottle Case 75cl

Grapes are selected from low yielding Bobal (30%), Petit Verdot (20%), Syrah (20%), Merlot (15%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) vines in Hispano+Suizas' own vineyards. The climate is continental with mediterranean influences, and the soil is chalky-clay. The grapes are harvested in the cooler morning temperatures and then kept in cold storage for 3 days. After further selection and destalking, the grapes undergo cold maceration at 8º for 4 days, with daily submerging of the cap. After gentle pressing each variety is fermented and aged separately for 10 months, with a further 10 months maturation after blending. Fermentation and maturation is all carried out in 400L French Allier and American oak barrels.
