Winemaking On 15 October, we began to pick the selected grapes by hand into 20 kg crates. In the winery, they remained on refrigerated platforms. After destemming and crushing, the fruit was cold soaked at a temperature below 10 C to obtain a must with more intense aromas and colour. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine spent 81 days in new American and French oak barrels, with weekly batonnages. Bottled in April 2022.

Aging 24 months in both French (20%) and American (80%) new oak

Alcohol by Volume 14.5%

Annual Production 80,000 bottles

The Story

Finca Martelo is the flagship wine of Torre de Oña, born from the idea of creating a wine only in exceptional vintages. It is crafted from a selection of the best plots on the estate, particularly old vineyards with low yields and high quality. The first vintage released was 2012, and since then, it has only been produced in years that meet the highest standards set by the winery. Finca Martelo reflects the elegance, complexity, and aging potential that define the philosophy of Torre de Oña.
