Jaque Mate Reserva Cabernet Franc

Winery: Bodegas Sanchez

Grape: Cabernet Franc

Vintage:  2020

Winemaking: An exhaustive control of the vineyard is carried out in order to choose the best plot for this emblematic wine. Once harvested and ground in the tank, a pre-fermentation maceration is carried out for 4 to 5 days at temperatures between 8-10°C. After this operation, the selected yeasts are sown to carry out the alcoholic fermentation, which will take place at temperatures between 23 and 25°C, with an average duration of between 15-20 days. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation, foreseeing to carry it out in the oak that will be aged trying to achieve the perfect combination between fruit and wood that our wines provide.

Tasting notes: The color is a high intensity violet with a black horseshoe. In the nose it has pyracinic and caramel notes. In the mouth it has a pleasant entrance with memories of spices and overripe peppers typical of grapes expected at maturity. The passage through the oak gives it elegance and roundness achieving perfect balance when it is consumed.

Food Pairing:  Steak and BBQ.
