Development and Aging The atomization of the crop in this area, and careful monitoring of alcoholic and phenolic ripening of the grapes, forces a careful planning of the harvest, which usually expands over time. The whole collection is run manually, in boxes of 15 kilos. Inside the warehouse, there are two clearly differentiated lines of work, depending on the style of wine, which begin to take shape from the selection table. For younger red, short upbringings, pneumatic presses are used and fermentations take place in traditional tanks, stainless steel. In the case of the high ranges, represented by the Cénit and bearing marks, macerations and fermentations occur in a battery of small open tanks, colloquially called "tubs" with an approximate capacity of 4,000 kilos each. It is the best way to study the behavior of the grapes separately according to their different origins, in many cases, tiny payments tremendously low yields. In this case, pressing the work presses are performed vertical. All wines of premium lines make malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels. The Vineyards and Grape The main variety of the wine has always been -Tinta Toro Tempranillo in neighboring Toro- name. The native Tempranillo shows some variants, when vinification, regarding the grape with the same name found in Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Perhaps less fragrant it is presented, however, more opulent and deep. The old vineyard grapes provides balanced and acidity, and rich tannin and minerals, therefore, a priori, the equation for the quality and potential of aging are guaranteed. Earth red Wine Zamora come from vineyards located about 750 meters. Depending on the quality, the area provides a type of surface that combines lime and sandstone, and favors water stress. They are soils that know how to live with little water and strain the rationed when needed. Sometimes it happens, in years of low yields, such as 2007, which hardly get to reach the kilo of grapes per vine. More of 80% of the territory is occupied by vines vines planted in glass, the traditional way, many of them spectacular in their twisted trunks. Tempranillo almost hegemonic shares some spaces with equally ancient vineyards of Moscatel and Malvasia. The dispersed viñero of the historical Land of wine Zamora, located on the left bank of the Duero, has today the value of evocation, from his miraculous survival, and claims a noble and ancient lineage through their tempranillo strains. La Bodega The winery is located in the small town zamorano of Villanueva de Campeán, head of the historical region of Tierra del Vino, a neighboring area of ​​the appellation of origin Toro, which shares with this soil type and a similar climate, continental court, influenced by the proximity of the Douro River . Viñas del Cenit distributes its wine heritage in small payments with remarkable presence of old vines of Tempranillo, some of them centuries old, planted in ungrafted on calcareous soils, sand and gravel, covering a deep strip of red clay. Salamanca Almudena Alberca is a young oenologist linked to Viñas del Cenit since the birth of the winery in 2003. It is responsible for monitoring the vineyard and also to direct the different processes vinific
