The 7 Sins Wine Collection in Wooden Case - LIMITED EDITION
THE SEVEN SINS - A limited edition release guaranteed best price in Europe.
A family of wines wich are very complex, with many subtle nuances. Every one of the wines has its own unique, fullyformed personality. Each of the seven sins finds its reflection amongst these wines.
The design has also had an important influence on the development of the wines themselves.
Every bottle tells a story. Every sin is represented in a way which evokes different feelings in the viewer. Lust, enveloped in a woman's stocking, is evocative to the touch as soon as you pick up the bottle, or Envy, coveting everything around it, hence its mirrored finish, reflecting and trapping its surroundings. Laziness, looking like it just emerged from a cemetery of bottles where it had been sleeping for some undefined stretch of time, now covered in dust and with its lettering tilted to the side, lying down just the way it prefers to be.
On another bottle we find evidence of a display of unchecked Anger in the form of a burnt label... it couldn't be avoided. Pride, always looking down on the rest, now standing out with glittering Swarovski crystals. Gluttony was too much even for the cutlery, leaving it completely misshapen and useless from so much use and abuse. And finally, so that it lasts longer, not to be touched, a sturdy lock safeguards Greed.
There's no life without sin.
Our wines are developed in a completely traditional and artisan way, so each vintage changes and offers us different experiences.
The Seven Sins are produced in a small Rioja winery, which works 25 hectares of its own vineyard with an average age of 45 years. 90% are free-standing bush vine and 10% are trained on wires practicing all of them sustainable and precision agriculture; respectful with nature and without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or other compounds that may be harmful to the environment.
The terrain of the different plots is mostly clay-calcareous, which offers wines with unique organoleptic qualities and deeply rooted in the wine-growing region they are from.
Due to the way we understand viticulture, our wines begin each vintage from the pruning; year after year we prune to 5 thumbs, instead of 6 as is usually done in Rioja, this allows us to precisely regulate the production in the vineyard itself.
Later we carry out the "spergura", another completely manual work, which consists of eliminating the herbaceous shoots and defining exactly the growth buds that are left. We always leave 2 buds on each thumb, which has many benefits for the vine and for the development of the bunches; improves aeration and penetration of light, and favors a microclimate of the bunch more suitable for proper ripening.
These two processes give us much less grape production in the vineyard but of much higher quality.
Once the grapes are in the winery, we use the Bordeaux or "destemming" system, which consists of removing the stem from the bunch before fermentation begins. In this way we avoid astringent and herbaceous flavors of the fermentation grape must.
In the elaboration each wine will have different fermentation temperatures. To find more power in the mouth we do a "destemmed" maceration, in which the winemaker makes the "discover" (the separation of the liquid from the solid) at the exact moment. This process is carried out "by tasting", instead of doing it by analytical, to find the best "bouquet" of the wine.
In summary, our traditional elaboration adding small innovative nuances, the daily control of our vineyards and the selection of our grapes, from the birth of the vine to the final result, gives us every year the best wines for our Seven Sins. For something, the 2016 vintage of one of our sins has just received a Platinum Decanter award with 97 points.
