Casa de la Ermita Petit Verdot 2021
One of the first wineries to grow Petit Verdot in Spain, bodega Casa de la Ermita from the DO Jumilla is the producer of the wine Casa de la Ermita Petit Verdot.
The grapes were picked up by hand and selected on site, and then they were cold macerated for some days before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. This Spanish red wine fermented for 15 to 20 days, and after that it was transferred into French oak barrels.
After that, the red wine Casa de la Ermita Petit Verdot 2021 completed malolactic fermentation and was aged in the barrels for 12 months.
This varietal Crianza red wine is characterful, lively and elegant.
We suggest that you decant this red wine from Jumilla 30 minutes before drinking.
