“Finca Biniagual Negre” 2018 – Bodega Biniagual

“Finca Biniagual Negre” Bodega Biniagual  was vinified with minimum intervention. The grapes were harvested in small boxes of between 10 to 12 kilograms and carefully selected by hand. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with a total maceration time of between 15 to 17 days. “Finca Biniagual Negre” Bodega Biniagual  underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and concrete tanks. Maturation lasted for 12 months in 60% French oak barrels and 40% American oak barrels of second and third use.

The vineyard sits at 140 metres above sea level, with a northern orientation. The thermal winds that travel through the vines during the afternoons create a beneficial microclimate and encourage healthy canopies. The soils are rich in clay and the stones on the surface help to store the heat from the day and radiate it at night, promoting even ripening of the grapes. Following the philosophy that quality wines are made in the vineyard, the focus is vineyard management. Yields are rigorously limited through green harvesting and the vines are sustainably farmed with natural preparations used to nourish the vines.
