Our Wines
The profile of 3SAPAS wines is aimed at curious consumers seeking something different, nature enthusiasts committed to caring for the environment, art and design enthusiasts looking for disruptive products, and the new generations seeking products they can identify with.
The wines stand out by emphasizing the natural flavors of the fruit and reflecting the character of their place of origin, with special attention to fruity and floral aromas while avoiding overpowering toasty or aging components.
For white wines, they strive to achieve marked and crisp acidity with a subtle touch of French oak that enhances the expression of the fruit.
On the other hand, for red wines, they aim to minimize vegetal flavors and prioritize fresh fruit over oak, resulting in pleasant balsamic notes derived from the aging process.
In terms of mouthfeel, they seek balance in acidity and tactile sensations, preferring harvests in the range of 13° to 14° alcohol to obtain wines with a light structure rather than a more dominant tannic taste.
To achieve these styles, they work with grapes grown in high-altitude and cool climate areas, where quality is guaranteed. Harvests are done at the optimal maturity, combining different picking points and seeking a natural balance in yields, where the leaf-to-fruit ratio will be the main determinant of 3SAPAS’ style.
