2024 Vino Figura Durif 'Fractura' Rosado Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico
$33.00
100% Durif (Petit Syrah)
Grown on the Olegario Sandoval Vineyard planted
during the 1980s, close to a stream on sandy
loam soils in the hills northeast of Ensenada.
The grapes were harvested all in one day. After the grapes
arrive at the winery they spend the first 24 hours in the cold
room, to help preserve aromatics and slow down primary
fermentation. The next day the grapes are direct-pressed
with a basket press into stainless steel tanks to settle for
1-2 days, then racked into neutral French 225L barrels for
alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. After 8-10 months
the wine is racked back into tank for a final settling of
sediment, and bottled unfined, unfiltered and with only
10ppm SO2 addition.
