Valenciso Cemento Red wine

Valenciso Cemento is an attractive and surprising wine. It has everything you ask of a wine: finesse, structure and fruit. It is characterized by the absence of wood, obtaining its structure and longevity from ageing in cement deposits.

3 curiosities about cement deposits for wine:

» Wine gives it vivacity, stabilizes it and gives it longevity.

Achieves greater fruit depth and persistence. Inside these tanks there are no sudden changes in temperature, everything is more gradual, softer, and it is good in fermentation and storage. Tannins polymerize better (converting one substance into another of the same composition, but of higher molecular weight) and are more silky and less astringent.

» Cement is 350 times more insulating than stainless steel

This isolation is a great advantage in all wine processes. Concrete absorbs heat with little energy. This heat will be released due to its low thermal conductivity when the environment cools due to the arrival of winter. In stainless steel, its ability to retain energy is drastically reduced. The outside environment regulates the temperature of the tank.

» Cement deposits are less extractive

The secret of a great wine is gentle extractions, said Emile Peynaud. Cement deposits are less extractive and will make wines more stable and long-lasting. It is a warehouse with all the advantages of the 21st century. In the past, the quality of the cement was worse, they were not coated inside, nor did they have temperature control. We do not choose wooden vats because we prefer to get the most out of the fruit and then you will receive the contribution of French oak barrels.
