The Wines
Ferratus Sensaciones
The sensational plot
This is a wine from the fifth dimension. The number of bottles varies very year depending on the weather and the limited number of bunches we manage to pick from each vine in the Pago de Santa Cruz vineyard (La Horra), which belongs to the winery. Because of its orientation and soil characteristics, this vineyard really is exceptional. Unlike Ferratus, Sensaciones usually has the deep mineral characteristics of stone and soil.
2005 HARVEST
Very red in colour, with neat legs in the glass. Elegant features of forest fruits, minerals, balsam and orange blossom appear in the aroma, in balanced fusion with the toasty notes of the French oak (caramel, chocolates, pepper). It is long and delicate on the palate but very full-bodied, without being overpowering. In the aftertaste, the aromatic notes make the olfactory notes more complex (fresh berries, graphite). Oak ageing goes on for 14 months in new French oak barrels. 7,200 numbered bottles.

DRINKING SUGGESTIONS
It can express itself better if it is decanted, bringing to the surface the deeper aromas of a wine that is pure terroir, pure ecology. It can be drunk at a maximum of 18 degrees, but the highest temperatures and bring out new organic aromas, inclining towards leather. Its delicacy means it is highly recommended with plates of semi-mature cheese, rice dishes, seasonal wild mushrooms, grilled meat, poultry in sauces and baked fish.
