Hacienda Villarta  Besanas Crianza
Hacienda Villarta is known for having low output vineyards that guarantee a high quality grape with a great concentration of poliphenols, which give excellent wines.
A wide knowledge of our vineyards let us make a previous selection among our various locations to elaborate this wine, sorting those that have given the best grapes throughout the years. Harvest took place early in the morning before sunrise. This way, the grapes entered the winery keeping a low temperature, making easier to do the pre fermentative maceration that lasted two days.
Through fermentation, already oriented to prepare wines for ageing in oak barrels, the temperature was always kept below 25º C (77º F). Different operations were necessary to guarantee good extractions of the peel, making a longer fermentation and then maceration.
Besanas Crianza is proprietary blend of Tempranillo, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Ageing process started in our French and American oak barrels. This process lasted around 20 months, with a naturally controlled temperature inside our ageing room. The outcome: A complex red wine, assembling impressions of thyme, toasted hazelnut and red fruits.
Red cherry colored wine with persistent teardrop. It’s strong and fleshy, fruit zest, impressions of coffee and spices, with a slight bitter end. Slow pace, pleasant and persistent.
