CABALLERO ZIFAR TEMPRANILLO

Vintage

2020 is a vintage of great interest, yielding genuine wines, contained alcoholic degree, fresh, medium-bodied wines with lots of red fruit. Weather conditions were very favourable, without incident and abundant rains in spring yielding a short cycle year. The summer was hot and dry but subsoil water reserves played in our favour with good night/ day thermal contrast. Older age vines played a role, providing greater resistance to drought with low yields, completing the ripening cycle without setbacks and ten days earlier than usual.
