Why the name “Volteo Wines”?

We first wanted a word that could be easily pronounced in various languages and that could convey some sort of “Spanishness“. Secondly, upon considering different options, we wanted to have a brand name with a story behind it, one that could relate to the wine that is inside the bottle. Volteo is a Olympic discipline that requires exceptional balance and skills, along with a touch of art, and these are things that you also require to make this type of wine.

Grape Varietals
60% Tempranillo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaking
Harvest date was determined when the optimum ripeness level of the grapes was reached. After receiving the grapes in the winery, these were de-stemmed and crushed and sent to fermentation vessels. Fermentation started naturally under controlled temperature, and during the first few days efforts are done in cap management to maximise the extraction of colour and aromas, and in order to obtain the soft tannins that will give our wines a pleasant structure.

Ageing
The wine ages in American and French oak casks as well as in Acacia casks during 4 months.
