Unique characteristics of a DEMUERTE wine
DEMUERTE wine is a modern wine. A work that arises as the result of a careful process. A job that begins in the growing areas and ends when our clients consume the wine. All these pampering make our wines have unique characteristics. A personality, a taste, an aroma, some tones and an appearance different from those of other wines. Some of these main characteristics are the following:
1. They are made with Monastrell grape. It is the native grape of Yecla, the area in which we work and where our vines grow. For each variety of DEMUERTE we use a different percentage. Thus, to make the DEMUERTE BLACK variety, only this variety of grape is used; While to prepare DEMUERTE DELUXE the Monastrell grape is used 80%, completing the wine with 10% Syrah grape and another 10% with the Petit Verdot variety. And so with the rest of the wines.
2. The grapes that are used mainly are the fruit of some old vines of more than 60 years that have a low yield, and that grow in dry areas.
3. The harvest is done by hand. That is, it is collected by hand. In addition, the grains are harvested in boxes where no more than twenty kilos of fruit are deposited to prevent the grain from being damaged.

4. All wines undergo a maceration process in stainless steel tanks. In the cases of DEMUERTE DELUXE, DEMUERTE GOLD, DEMUERTE CLASSIC and DEMUERTE ONE, the wines are macerated at 24ºC for 21 days. It is different in the case of DEMUERTE BLACK wine, which macerates in small tanks of one thousand liters.
5. After maceration, the wines undergo malolactic fermentation and subsequent aging in oak barrels. The time they remain in this aging depends on the variety of wine in question. In the case of DEMUERTE ONE for a minimum period of 6 months and for DEMUERTE BLACK, for 20 months.
6. They have an intense color, with shades of great beauty. These colors range from the intense red of DEMUERTE BLACK to the cherry red with garnet rims of the DEMUERTE GOLD variety.
7. The aroma of our wines is sweet. In many cases it is reminiscent of pastries, red fruits, or even oak wood. But it also evokes spices such as cinnamon, paprika or cocoa, to name just a few of them. Hence, they have many possibilities for pairing with both meat and fish or sausages.
8. Regarding taste, it should be noted that DEMUERTE wines are very tasty. Generally, with a smooth and pleasant entry. A round aftertaste that evokes fruit and jam. With ripe and silky tannins, very long, and with pleasant toasts. What even the least demanding palates like.
