About Aalto PS
Aalto PS is a red wine made by Bodegas Aalto in OJ Ribera del Duero.
This is an exceptional wine. PS refers to the selected settlements from which the grapes come. They are the best grapes of the Tinto Fino variety, from 60 to 100 year-old strains.
Harvesting is done manually and the grapes are transferred to the cellar in boxes of 15 kg to avoid breakage.
Harvesting is done in times with little sunshine, thus maintaining maximum freshness of the grapes in their arrival at the winery.
Once in the winery, the grapes undergo a second selection process bunch by bunch. The grapes are de-stemmed and fermented separately, each grape at a temperature of between 20 and 25 ° C.
Bleeding is used only for the highest quality wine. The malolactic fermentation takes place in French Allier oak barrels, where aging also occurs for 24 months.
Aalto PS is clarified using natural egg white before bottling. Once bottled, it rests in the bottle for some time before going to market.
Aalto PS can be consumed now, but also has a huge storage capacity. A complex wine from the Ribera del Duero, very fruity and extremely elegant regarded by many as one of the great wines of Spain. A real treat.
