Dominio Del Prior Petit Verdot Red Wine

The Dominio del Prior Petit Verdot Red Wine is an oenological jewel that comes from the el Refugio farm winery, located in the Vino de la Tierra de Castilla appellation in Spain. This wine is made with 100% Petit Verdot grape variety.

The Refugio farm winery is located in a privileged environment, surrounded by vineyards that extend under the sun of Castilla. This region has a continental Mediterranean climate, with cold winters and hot summers, which provides ideal conditions for growing grapes. The clay-limestone soils of the area also play a fundamental role in the development of the grapes, providing a unique richness and balance.

Dominio del Prior Petit Verdot Red Wine is made primarily from the Petit Verdot grape variety, a red grape variety originating in Bordeaux, France. This variety is characterized by its low yield and its concentration of color, aromas and tannins. In the case of this wine, the Refugio farm winery has taken full advantage of the potential of this grape, achieving a wine of great intensity and structure.

The process of making Dominio del Prior Petit Verdot red wine is meticulous and careful. After the grapes are harvested by hand at their optimum point of ripeness, they are quickly transported to the winery, where a meticulous selection of the bunches is made. The grapes are then destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve all their varietal expression.

Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for 18 months in French and American oak barrels. This aging brings complexity and elegance to the wine, allowing notes of ripe fruit, spices and toasted touches to develop. During this time, the wine is also refined and rounded, acquiring a smooth and balanced structure.
