Review
Number 9 is considered by various cultures to be the number of supreme wisdom. The number 9 represents the ternary triangle: the corporal, the intellectual and the spiritual.
With this idea of 'completeness', three dimensions which can reach perfection when united, although each one on its own forms part of the whole, Winery Arts presents its innovative “Number nine” ('Número Nueve') collection.
Comprising three wines with each one having its own particular symbolism: Tres al cuadrado (3 squared) represents the physical world; Seis al Revés (6 inverted), the power of thought; and Número Nueve (number 9), the transcendental; three singular wines made with consummate care, sourced from selected vines in old, low-yielding vineyards (around 1,500 kg/ha), which grow on steeply-sloping hillsides at the foot of the Moncayo mountains, difficult slopes to cultivate but where vineyards manage to withstand the passing of centuries.
'Seis al Revés', in effect nine, represents the world of thought through imagination, a state of transformation which requires intellectual exercise. The wine too is intense and powerful, highlighting the aromas of black fruits and fine oak notes, another dimension.
A blackish dark cherry colour, the wine shows violet hues on the rim and its very high density. The nose is intense, exhibiting hints of fine oak (cocoa, toasty and smoky nuances), combined with ripe black fruits. Robust and meaty on the palate, it is powerful and well-structured.
Aged for 16 months in new French oak barrels.
