Secua Cabernet Syrah – Aged to Perfection

A Bold and Elegant Spanish Blend

Secua Cabernet Syrah is an exceptional Reserva wine crafted by Finca La Estacada in Tierra de Castilla, Spain. This carefully produced blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Syrah undergoes an extensive 24-month aging process in new French oak barrels, resulting in a wine of remarkable complexity and depth.

The meticulous winemaking process ensures that every bottle of Secua Cabernet Syrah showcases the unique characteristics of its terroir, with a perfect balance of fruit, spice, and oak-aged sophistication.

Winemaking & Aging Process

The production of Secua Cabernet Syrah follows a strict and highly controlled vinification process to ensure the highest quality.

The grapes undergo 7 days of maceration with the skins before starting fermentation, allowing for optimal color and tannin extraction. Fermentation lasts 10 days at a controlled temperature, with daily remontados (pumping over) to enhance flavor complexity.

Once fermentation is complete, the wine rests on its skins for an additional 5 days, deepening its richness. It is then transferred to new French oak barrels, where it is aged for 24 months. This prolonged aging process imparts toasted notes, delicate spice, and refined elegance, elevating the wine’s structure and complexity.
