Caballero de Olmedo

Caballero de Olmedo is our tribute to a play that the Spanish writer Lope de Vega wrote in 1620, a romantic story that takes place in our area in the village of Olmedo. The wine labels represent the three main characters of this play; Don Alonso, Don Rodrigo and Doña Inés. The popular tale says: “At night they killed the Knight, the gala of Medina, the flower of Olmedo”.

WINEMAKING PROCESS

Reception of the grapes in our winery; destemming and crushing of the grapes with a light pressing in order to extract the grape must. We carry out a static settling process with help from cold temperature. Further on, the fermentation process lasts for about 3 to 4 weeks with cold temperatures (never above 15ºC). Afterwards, a racking operation, or transfer of the wine, is carried out to eliminate the thick lees, leaving only the fine lees in the wine which we work with for several months in order to obtain wines of complexity and structure, and with a final touch of elegance. Finally, the clarification, stabilisation and a light filtration is done before the wine is bottled.
