How can Rotllan Torra 2008 be described? It is a red wine, aged for 12 months, which presents an intense colour, is extremely aromatic, with predominant fruity tones and greatly structured, while at the same time it is soft on the palate and elegant.
All due to the joint efforts of the viticulture,
winemaking and R&D&I departments, following
traditional winemaking methods.
The varieties of grapes used for elaborating this wine
have been collected from young vineyards up to 20
years of age.
The wine is aged in a cask for one year and in a bottle for an additional year and a half.
The grape picking is always carried out manually, very early in the morning. The cutting and destemming processes are carried out in just a couple of hours, in order to prevent from undesired fermentations. The grape transportation is carried out in a maximum of 20 kg boxes, thus ensuring its integrity upon its arrival to the cellar.
The fermentation process is always carried out at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees in stainless steel deposits. This also applies to the malolactic fermentation, which takes place after two or three rackings.
The skins of the grape are kept in contact with the must for 20 days.
When the wine is in optimal conditions for ageing, it is deposited in three-year old American oak bordelesa casks. This way, the wine can consistently achieve the optimal level of oxidation.
Finally, after the bottling process, the wine bottles will settle under the optimal humidity, temperature, silence and darkness conditions provided by our bottle racks.

Tasting note:
Picota cherry in colour with an almost violet edge. Medium-high coating. Very glossy. Very fresh and aromatic. Long and fine tear. The excellent harmony between the fruit and wood stands out. Aroma of Crianza. Light toasting and mature fruit, also vanilla and pepper with touches of minerals and a hint of liquorice.
Well constituted, tasty and balanced. Enters softly in the mouth, silky and very fruity. Nice tannins which are elegant and will develop well. A balsamic finish with memories of its pleasant complexity and the wood is perfectly blended. Long aftertaste. A wine which will improve greatly in the bottle.
