Reyes de Aragon Cepas Viejas Garnacha de Calatayud is carefully produced by Bodegas Langa with organically grown grapes from old vines that are over 50 years old. Founded in the mid 19th century by the Langa family, Bodegas Langa remains a family venture with two generations involved in all aspects of winery management under the direction of Juan José Langa. The family's wine philosophy has led them to select new varietals to supplement Calatayud's traditional grapes. They have proved that Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Merlot can deliver superior, unique wines in the Calatayud D.O., while adhering strictly to organic standards throughout the Langa vineyards. The wine making process of Cepas Viejas 2004 is long and complicated. The best quality Garnacha grapes, after the process by which the stalks and seeds are removed, go to the pressing process to get the must of the grapes. They are then fermented at 28º C in stainless steel vats and have a maceration time of 2 to 5 days. The wine is removed from the original vat and transferred to another, where it ages for 20 days with its natural lees. After the pressing process and natural filtering, the malolactic fermentation is takes place in oak wood casks. Finally, the wine is placed in oak wood casks to repose there for 6 months, to be bottled afterwards without any sort of stabilization. Due to this natural winemaking process and evolution, it is possible to find some sediment in the bottle.
