| Tasting
Notes: |
Fermentation
takes place in French oak barricas bringing all characteristics
of this grape variety together, cherry red vibrancy with underlying
hues of deeper reds, and notes purple.
Barrel fermentation also results in a nose that gives perfectly
combined aromas of ripe fruits of the forest (mulberry, blackberry,
red & blackcurrant) and attractive hints of wood.
Powerful, yet smooth on the pallet with its elements combining
harmoniously giving a persistent finish with a perfect level
of acidity and an elegant polished youth, Ready to drink now.
Decant/aerate ideally one hour before drinking. |

| History: |
After
many years working in the wine and viniculture industry, Juan Antonio
Fdez. Martín decided to set up this family run bodega. Founded
in the year 2000 Liberalia is, despite its youth, already one of the
rising stars of wine production in Toro.
The name Liberalia refers to the celebrations in honour of the Roman
god Liber (also known as Bacchus) which marked the passing of children
into puberty. The main feature of these celebrations was the consumption
of high quality wines. Like the celebrations of Roman times the bodega's
focus is on the production of high quality wines.
Liberalia, very much a boutique vineyard, producing just 80,000 litres
of wine (90% of which are reds) per annum, combines leading edge technology
with traditional winemaking skills. Grapes are harvested and sorted
by hand and the relatively small amount of wine produced is closely
monitored throughout the fermentation and maturing process.
Juan Antonio, also a skilled violinist, firmly believes that attention
to detail, the arts and music all come together at Liberalia to produce
these exceptional wines and can on occasion be heard in the cellars
at Liberalia serenading his French and American oak casks as the wine
are gently aged. |
