2021 began with a good rainfall but that at the end of winter came a prolonged period of drought until well into September. In general terms it has been a dry year that has favored the health of the vineyard, reducing the number of phytosanitary treatments due to the excellent condition of the grapes. The harvest in terms of quantity is very similar to that of 2020 and even slightly higher, favored in some vineyards by the precipitation at the end of September. These climatic conditions have caused the harvest to come about 10 days later than the 2020 harvest, obtaining warmer wines, with less acidity than other years but with a very remarkable colorimetric potential, making powerful and structured wines. They are wines slightly less aromatic due to the heat but they gain in color and structure.

Winemaking
The grapes are hand-sorted using vibration and sorting tables. The stalks are removed from the grapes without squeezing them. Controlled, long macerations at low temperatures in stainless steel deposits with the cap submerged. The cap is kept moist using the "delestage" method in order to achieve the best extraction of the polyphenols. The pressing is carried out using a vertical pneumatic press and the malolactic fermentation then takes place. Made from four vineyards of different terms of Labastida and ages over 40 years. The four plots contain a vast majority of Tempranillo strains.
