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.

Winemaking

Grapes are picked by hand and placed in small crates. Upon entering the winemaking cellar, the bunches undergo a manual selection and then individual grapes are sorted based on their weight. Following this double selection process, they are de-stemmed and fermented in stainless steel deposits.

Tasting notes

Colour

High layer and brilliant look, the colour is garnet in the centre and cherry around the edges.

Nose

Complex variety of aromas that combine to give us an intense, sophisticated wine. Initially one can find very ripe berry fruits, faint smoke, raisins and liqueur. After a certain amount of aeration, cinnamon and jam notes surface.

Mouth

Full, with a good presence of tannins, although these are offset by its glycerine-like character, resulting in a fleshy feel. Long lasting and lingering.

Pairing

Roasts, lamb dishes, stews, game and cured ham as well as cheese.
