ELABORATION: Grape selected from vineyards grown at higher altitudes of the Syrah variety (100%) Cryo pre-fermentative maceration at very low temperatures. Start of fermentation at 18ºC and temperature control never higher than 30ºC. When the extraction has been sufficient, it is uncovered and malolactic fermentation is carried out with the fine lees. The aging process lasts between 4 and 6 months depending on the vintage and in Bordeaux French and American oak barrels. TASTING: It stands out for its breadth in the mouth. Ruby red color with cardinal iridescences, dense appearance with thick tears. On the nose it is intense, clean, direct. Multiple aromatic ranges in continuous evolution and variation. Representatives of three aromatic origins parade, coffee, cedar, cocoa, raspberry, blackberry, ink, white pepper, pink pepper, rosemary... Complex, clean and intense. A luxury for the smell. The mouth seems fat and wide with a velvet texture, a well-integrated, very ripe tannin, adorned with the profile of the nasal aromas. PAIRING: spoon dishes, such as tripe, lentils, stews as well as roasts, meats and sausages, very suggestive with pâtés. The optimal consumption temperature is around 17ºC

From 1977 to 1993, bulk wine was marketed for different wineries in the province. In 1993, as a result of the initiative and intense work of the Virgen de la Oliva Andalusian Agricultural Cooperative Society and its partners, Bodegas Carpe Diem was created and the first bottled wines were launched on the market by the variants Gadea Tinto, Montespejo Blanco and the Carpe Diems.
