The Sestal

Sestal

"The deep red Sestal is rich in aromas and impresses with great persistence and elegance."

Franz de Waal,Finca Ses Talaioles
  • Description

    STRUCTURE » SESTAL is a very complex, elegant wine. Its characteristics are a manifest of the history of Finca Ses Talaioles, which is marked by the structure of its agricultural land. The fields and vineyards are still enclosed by kilometres of ancient dry-stone walls. Every single metre of a wall consists of numerous stones hewn by hand. The imprint of an old stone wall on the vineyard is the basis of the SESTAL label. It stands for the structure and complexity of this wine.

  • Winemaking & Ageing

    Vinification
    Gentle treatment of the vines with natural products. Careful cultivation of the soil, promoting biodiversity, to ensure the resistance and health of the vines.Harvested grapes are stored in cold chambers for up to 12 hours to preserve aromas and avoid oxidation during processing. Manual selection of the grapes, handpicking of the berries. No use of sulphites before fermentation. Instead, use of non-saccharomyces yeasts for fruit enhancement, increase in typicity and complexity similar to that of wild fermentation, with the added benefit of lowering the sulphur content in the wine.Fermentation in inox tanks. Extended maceration completed 12 days after the end of fermentation. Malolactic fermentation in inox tanks.

    Ageing
    18 months in French oak (new).
