Bodegas Se?or?o de L?bano is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to produce wines of the highest quality. To achieve this, we have a concrete and truncated-cone tank facility, an aging cellar, a vat room, and a storage warehouse.
Tank facility. We have truncated-cone stainless steel tanks with capacities of 5,000 and 9,400 liters, concrete tanks coated with epoxy fibers used for blending and as storage vessels, and wooden vats with a capacity of 20,500 liters, where malolactic fermentations, refining, and blending of wines take place.
Aging cellar. Semi-underground, covering 800 square meters, it houses 2,500 American and French oak barrels, under optimal humidity and temperature conditions to ensure a regular and stable aging process. The average age of our barrels is 3 to 5 years.
The barrels are made from a selection of the finest oak from each region. The French oak comes from the forests of Tron?ais and Allier, and the American oak from Missouri and the Appalachians. The different toasting levels of the wood affect the aging time of the wine, which ranges between a minimum of 14 months and a maximum of 24, creating different nuances for each wine.
Moreover, Bodegas Se?or?o de L?bano achieves wine clarity over time, naturally, through constant racking and the removal of the last liters from each barrel, which carry away most of the particles. In any case, fining and stabilization processes are avoided, as they can harm the wine?s organoleptic quality.
Before bottling, the wine goes through a period of refinement and blending in French oak vats.
Storage and bottle aging cellar. Located in a 350-square-meter underground facility, it can hold up to 325,000 bottles from the various brands and vintages.
