Santa Cruz Cueva del Chamán Roble Monastrell has a typical fragrance for the Monastrell grape variety, with a subtle aroma of candied fruit, mixed with a smoky and soft roasted background coming from the light roasting of the French oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is balanced, fresh, lively and flavoursome with appropriate acidity and noble tannins of ripe fruit.
The vines selected for making this wine are carefully selected by the winemakers, who, in addition to the quality of the grapes, also consider the age, yields and strength of the vine to ensure maximum quality.
This wine is made from 100% Monastrell. These are traditionally vinified followed by pressing. Fermentation takes place in rotating horizontal tanks. The fermentation temperature was about 26ºC with a maceration time of 8 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures for a minimum of 6 months in French oak barrels of 300 liters. The barrels are a mix of 15% new to 4 year old oak barrels. After barrel maturation, the wine is slightly clarified and cold stabilized.
