MAKING THE WINE
The Finca Constancia vineyards lie in a rolling landscape that offers a range of different types of soil and as a result each plot is unique, with its own personality. Some of the vineyards are situated higher up others face the Sierra de Gredos to the north and others still face the Montes de Toledo in the south. The orientation ofthe vineyards and the degree to which they are exposed to the sun creates a difference between the grapes that grow in the east and those that grow in the western part of this area. Only those that grow on the east side are selected to make this wine as they ripen better are of higher quality. Altos de la Finca 2013 underwent malolactic fermentation in selected extra fine-grained, medium toast French oak barrels then was aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels.
