VINA MARIS
We submerged the cages with the sealed bottles at a depth of 40 meters on the Mediterranean coast. There are four factors that make the seabed a perfect place to experiment with the aging and preservation of wine: greater pressure, a constant temperature of 14 degrees, the virtual absence of light, and the gentle, measured movement of the sea currents. In this environment, the evolution of the cages was regularly monitored, and after a year, when the wine was ready, it emerged from the sea as Vinamaris Selected.
Tasting note
Nose
Ripe fruit notes blended with characters acquired by its malolactic fermentation and long ageing in new high-quality french oak barrels. Thanks to its underwater ageing it has acquired salty memories, in addition to a spiced background with creamy and balsamic notes.
Appearance
Very lively and deep wine covered with garnet notes and ink.
Graduation and temperature
14,50 VOL. Between 15ºC and 16ºC
Palate
The underwater ageing has concentrated its elegance, polishing its tannins, giving softeness and at the same time it has preserved its refreshing notes that balance the ripe fruits notes, increasing the sensation silkiness and prolonging its intense finish.
