Description
The Quod Superius is a blend of bobal, syrah, merlot and cabernet franc. from the DOP Utiel-Requena coming from vineyards on a limestone plateau. The climate is continental with Mediterranean influences. The vineyards are at an altitude of a few hundred meters and there is a good difference between day and night
In the glass, this top model of Hispano Suizas is Intense deep red. On the nose, the Quod Superius has powerful and elegant aromas of black fruit, coffee, mint chocolate, grilled herbs and black beans and all this in very well integrated wood that gives complexity and distinction to the wine. On the palate it has silky notes, gliding through the mouth with density, where the ripe, fine tannins with oak stand out. Surprisingly fresh but concentrated. Very long and harmonious aftertaste.
Serve at 18°C. - Light sediment may be present and is natural, as they make this wine with minimal filtration to maximize quality. Perfect with cheese, fish, meat and recommended with mushrooms.
WINE MAKING
They pick the best grapes from low-yielding vines in our own vineyard. The grapes are collected in special boxes, each weighing 15 kg. We harvest only in the morning to keep the grapes at an optimal temperature until they reach the winery. Once at the winery, the full boxes are placed in cold rooms for 3 days at a temperature of -10 °C.
They select the grapes box by box, after which we destem them and place them in new American oak barrels, each with a capacity of 400 liters, from which we have previously removed the top of the barrel.
In each vat a stainless steel panel is placed with chilled water flowing through it to cold macerate the grapes for 4 days at 8°C. Every day we manually immerse the cap, the mass of grape skins, vat by vat and as soon as fermentation starts we turn off the chilled water. The temperature in the vat can reach a maximum of 26°C during fermentation.
After 15 days, we put the grapes in a pneumatic press to press them gently at a maximum of 0.5 bar. The wine matures for at least 10 months in new French Allier oak barrels. They bottle after a very light filtration.

This region is part of the autonomous community of Valencia and enjoys an ideal climate for viticulture.

The limestone-rich soil and the altitude of the vineyards contribute to the distinctive flavor profiles of the wines produced here.

Hispano Suizas combines modern techniques with age-old methods to guarantee high quality. The wines grow in an area covering 61 hectares, 46 hectares of which surround the winery, while the remaining 15 hectares are only 500 meters away.
