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, the first careful selection process is in the vineyard. Upon entering the winemaking cellar, bunches undergo another manual selection and then individual grapes are sorted based on their weight. Following this double selection process, they are de-stemmed and crushed before undergoing alcoholic fermentation in wooden oak vats.

Tasting notes

Colour

Black cherry with violet hues around the rim. Very good depth of colour.

Nose

The nose is intense, with a good balance between fruit and wood, with touches of fine wood, leather and black chocolate. Compote black fruits and spices, vanilla, cloves and liquorice. Pleasant dairy nuances also appear.

Mouth

Its taste is ample, complex and powerful, with a good balance. Roasted and spicy tones also appear, well assembled with the ripe fruit. Silky smooth mouth feel with sweet tannins and a very long, lingering finish, all complemented with good acidity.

Pairing

This wine pairs well with roasted and suckling lamb and pork, read meat of all types including stews as well as with ripe cheeses.
