ATLAS SWIFT Shelter Tempranillo 2021

Only the healthiest berries from hand-harvested grapes made it into thesmall, open-top fermenters where they were fermented on the skins. Duringfermentation, pump-overs were performed twice a day to extract the ripe,round tannins and the maximum amount of colour pigment. To ensure thatthe fruit is the main attraction, the wine was aged in 3rd and 4th fill French oakbarrels in order to limit the influence of oak-derived characters.

Layered aromas of black cherries, dried figs, cocoa, tar and cedarwood, while undertones of dill and rose petals add further interest. The grippy tannins lend a muscular structure and backbone to the wine. The palate is fruit-driven, with plush flavours of red currants, dried apricots, and anise seed. A lovely juicy and succulent wine with lingerig notes of ripe red berries on the finish.
