About Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera

Freezing the grapes immediately upon arrival from the vineyard may seem utterly insane, but it's the secret that elevates this wine to another level. At Hispano+Suizas, the fruit crates are placed directly into a cold chamber at -10°C to naturally break the grape skins, releasing a concentration of colour, aromas, and freshness that is extraordinary. This venture, founded in 2006 through the alliance of three friends, Marc Grin, Pablo Ossorio, and Rafael Navarro, was established with the obsession of applying surgical precision in the highlands of Requena to prove that, under the DO Valencia, red wines can be crafted with the same sophistication and elegance as the world's great legends.

The grapes originate from Finca Casilla Herrera, an organic vineyard planted in the year 2000 at an altitude of approximately 700 metres on calcareous-clay soils. Here, the cool highland nights help maintain the perfect acidity that balances the power of the Mediterranean sun. However, the true engineering spectacle occurs just after freezing, in the production area.

To bring Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera to life, the winery works with five grape varieties that are lovingly tended to individually: the local queen bobal, accompanied by petit verdot, cabernet franc, merlot, and syrah. After being meticulously selected berry by berry on a vibrating table, the must is transferred into new 400-litre French oak barrels. Here comes the masterstroke: the wooden bottoms of these barrels have been replaced with a stainless-steel plate cooled by water. Thanks to this, they achieve an impeccable cold maceration at 8°C for 4 days, manually submerging the cap, barrel by barrel, each day.

Following an ultra-gentle pressing and after the malolactic fermentation, the wine is left to rest for a minimum of 20 months in new French oak barrels of 300 and 400 litres, still separately. Only at the end of this lengthy slumber do the three partners sit down to design the final blend, merging the five grapes into an impeccable symphony before bottling.

The result upon uncorking Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera is a festival of complexity. An imposing red, ideal for enjoying at 16°C alongside a fine stew, barbecues, or cured meats. A true triumph of a blend, dressed to grace the finest tables in the world.
