Description
The Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera is a beautiful red wine from the DOP Valencia. This wine is a blend of Bobal, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz & Cabernet Franc. The vineyards have a soil of chalky clay soils and the climate is continental with Mediterranean influences. They are located at an altitude of a few hundred meters and there is a good difference between day and night
In the glass, the Bassus Finca Casilla Herrera has an intense cherry red color with complex aromas on the nose with an emphasis on red fruit aromas wrapped in balsamic, vanilla, dairy chocolate, hazelnut and an elegant end of toasted wood. Silky and juicy on the palate, red fruit (plums) with a roasted/toasted mouth end and a very long finish. This is a modern red wine from Valencia and Hispano Suizas is certainly the trendsetter in this. More focus on elegance, fruit and sufficient freshness and less on the heavy wood.
Serve at 18°C. - Light sediment may be present and is natural as they make this wine with minimal filtration to maximize quality.
WINE MAKING
They select the best grapes from low yielding vines from their own vineyards, with only 4,000 plants per hectare. The grapes are collected in special boxes, each weighing 15 kg. They harvest only in the very early morning to keep the grapes at an optimal temperature until they reach the winery. Once there, the full boxes are stored in cold rooms at a temperature of -10°C for 3 days. They select box by box and proceed to destemming and maceration in new 400-litre American oak barrels, from which we have removed part of the bottom.
They place a stainless steel cooling system in each barrel to cold-soak the grapes for 4 days at 8°C. Every day they manually press the grape pomace in the oak barrels and once fermentation has started, they put the cooling water for their own fermentation in the barrel, which takes place at a maximum temperature of 26°C.
After 12 days, they transfer the grapes to a pneumatic press to press them gently at a pressure of up to 0.5 bar. The development of the different grape varieties takes place separately and then the final blend is matured for at least 20 months in American oak barrels and 300 liter French oak barrels of the Allier type, after which it is lightly filtered before bottling.
