Ses Talaioles Sestal is a very complex, elegant red wine.
Its characteristics manifest the history of Finca Ses Talaioles, which is marked by the structure of its agricultural land. The fields and vineyards are enclosed by kilometres of ancient dry-stone walls. Every single metre of wall consists of numerous stones hewn by hand. The imprint of an old stone wall in the vineyard is the basis of the Sestal label. It stands for the structure and complexity of this wine.
The vines are gently treated with natural products, and the soil is carefully cultivated to promote biodiversity, and ensure the resistance and health of the vines.The harvested grapes are stored in cold chambers for up to 12 hours to preserve the aromas and avoid oxidation during processing. The grapes are manually harvested and hand picked.
Sulphites are not used prior to fermentation. Instead, the winemaker uses non- saccharomyces yeasts for fruit enhancement, with the added benefit of lowering the sulphur content in the wine.
Fermentation occurs in inox tanks. An extended maceration is completed 12 days after the end of fermentation. Malolactic fermentation also occurs in inox tanks.
This red wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.
