CASTILLO YGAY 2012 LIMITED UNITS
It holds all the attributes that characterize the great wines of the world: elegance, exclusivity and eternity. The flagship, a benchmark in the D.O. Ca Rioja with an unquestionable recognition worldwide. It represents the consistency of a project that started in 1852 and masterfully maintained. Part of its greatness resides on the fact that it is only made in selected vintages.
Castillo Ygay has developed a great complexity over the years without losing its exceptional freshness and demonstrating its superb quality and marked elegance.
Castillo Ygay is always made from grapes sourced from La Plana, a 40-hectare (98-acre) vineyard, planted in 1950 and located at 485 meters altitude, the highest area of Ygay Estate; the 300-hectare estate surrounding the winery in Rioja Alta.
A manually selected harvest is done in small crates to keep the perfect conditions of the grapes. Tempranillo was harvested on September 17th to 19th, and mazuelo on September 25th, 2012.
Grapes are de-stemmed after going through a selection table. The grape varieties ferment separately in stainless steel tanks, with controlled temperature. The alcoholic fermentation lasts 10-12 days approx. making regularly pumping over and delestage operations to favor the contact of the must with the skins and extract slowly the aromas and the phenolic compounds.
The tempranillo is aged for 34 months in 225-litre American oak barrels and the mazuelo is aged for 34 months in 225-litre French oak barrels. After blending, the wine remains 20 months in a concrete tank until bottling.
Bottling date: may, 2019.
Number of bottles: 103,216 (0.75 l), 3,121 (1.5 l), 326 (3 l), 205 (6 l) and 20 (12 l).
