Wine Vivanza Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2017

Bodegas Vivanza has been able to save for today that "know-how" of the past and in the same "terroir" of privileged position.

The Vivanza plant's vineyards are distributed on land of approximately 220 hectares. The land is located in the interior of the province of Alicante, Pinoso, at an altitude of about 500 metres above sea level. The vineyards are on the south-eastern slopes of the Sierra del Carche.

This area of the site provides several types of soils at our disposal. Depending on the characteristics of each site, different varieties are planted which are most suitable for growing fruit and obtaining unique wines.

The climate is characterized by very hot and not very rainy summers and cold winters.  In summer, especially, there are high temperature jumps, around 20℃ of difference between day and night, which favors the pigmentation and dryness of the wine.

The Harvest takes place between August 20th and mid October. All the vineyards are conditioned with local irrigation, each vine is watered.

Grape varieties are harvested independently by hand, each one at its optimal moment of ripeness, and the plots are selected with the best quality harvest. They undergo a pre-fermentation maceration at 10ºC to obtain greater aromatic complexity. Fermentation and maceration lasts between 15-20 days at a temperature not exceeding 25ºC, to enhance the varietal characteristics of each wine. Malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.

* Perfect accompaniment to roasts, all types of meat and game dishes. It can also be enjoyed with foie gras, pâtés and cured cheeses.
