Síntesis resists being bottled and rebels even when being made yet boasts a unique sensitivity, which gives rise to its huge personality; a phenomenon confirmed by those who have had the pleasure of witnessing its creation.
Soil, water, and vine: the combination of individual elements to create a whole.
Elaboration
Síntesis is a complex single-varietal wine made from 100% Monastrell grapes grown in the bodega’s own vineyards on low-yield vines that are subject to rigorous controls throughout the year and are selected for their first-rate quality.
Aging of wine
This signature red wine, a project launched with the idea of creating something markedly different, is put through a long maceration process before being aged 15 months in 300-litres first-fill French oak barrels and for a further 24 months in the bottle.
Colour & aroma
Síntesis is an intense red wild cherry in colour. Mineral notes appear on the nose, as well as aromas of stewed fruit: dried apricots, prunes…
Very balsamic, with hints of dried Mediterranean scrubland plants (rosemary, rockrose and natural liquorice); spicy, again with a balsamic touch reminiscent of nutmeg and sweet notes such as vanilla and cinnamon, with very well defined sensations.
Food Matching
Síntesis is the ideal wine for brin-ging out the flavours of:
Roasts
Marinated meats
Cured cheeses
Spicy casseroles
Serving suggestion: open the wine one or two hours before drinking and/or decant. Serve at 16 to 18ºC.
