About Chivite: Founded in 1647, Chivite is one of the oldest wine dynasties in Spain. Eleven generations of Chivites have passed down the legacy of the winemaking tradition. Over this time, Chivite has grown, adapted to new market and consumer demands and built a brand that is synonymous with maturity, elegance and know-how.

Winemaking: The Colección 125 Tempranillo comes from a selection of Legardeta’s finest plots of Tempranillo. Here, the grapes are carefully harvested by hand and placed into small 200 kg crates. Later, in the winery, the grapes are sorted and gravity-fed into 20,000 kg stainless steel vats, where the wine ferments at a controlled temperature. A gentle extraction by means of manual pumping over operations is essential during this process. Once the malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is gravity-fed into French oak barrels where it will remain for between 15 and 18 months, depending on the characteristics of the vintage.

Description: Enveloping bouquet of ripe black fruits such as plums and blackberries, interwoven with hints of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate, its elegance unfolds in flavours of red berries complemented by nuances of chocolate and tobacco, all framed by velvety tannins and a lingering finish. This red wine exhibits a flawless balance between the ripeness of the fruit and the understated spices, promising a harmonious tasting experience.

ABV: 14.5%
