| · General description: |
The vineyard of Bodegas Puelles, and those of the other professional growers in Abalos who supply the winery, are cultivated to produce moderate yields, using traditional, manual methods, especially during grape-picking.
This is the time when Jesus Puelles has to be constantly supervising the vines so as to decide the right moment to harvest and to select the grapes to be picked. Most of the grapes select are of the Tempranillo variety and come from growers in a radius of less than 5 Kilometres from the winery.
Since the 1996 vintage, Jesus Puelles has personally supervised the production process, with moderate maceration and pumping over and careful temperature control.
The production equipment is designed to achieve the maximum possible quality throughout the process. Gentle destemming, 20.000 litre fermentation vast for better control, and cooling using the natural flow of the millstream. Pressing is carried out using an airpressure pneumatic press.
In very good harvesis, we selct the fines grapes from de old vinevards in the higher part of Avalos to make wines whick, after carful ageing are bouled under the "Puelles Zenus" label.
All these factors, in conjuntion with Jesus´s own personality, give Puelles wines their own very personal style the character provided by the particular terroir.
Puelles wines have moderate backbone and perfect balalce between fruit and wood, where finesse and elegance are the words that first come to mind. |
