Manuel Quintano Q de Quintano

01/06

Vintage

The cycle began with a rainy winter with moderate temperatures, which led to budding even earlier than in 2023. The beginning of spring was also rainy, giving way to a period of prolonged drought that would last until September, with moderate temperatures. The red grape harvest began in October, as usual. The result: a very low-yield harvest of fairly high quality. The 2024 wines are aromatic, well-structured and fairly balanced on the palate.

Winemaking

Made from a selection of Labastida vineyards of 25 years average age and planted in calcareous-clay soils at between 450 and 600 meters altitude. Q de Quintano is the freshest and most youthful expression of the unique Labastida viticulture. De-stemming of 85% of the harvest and elaboration of the rest via the carbonic maceration style made in concrete deposits. Pre-fermentative maceration for 4 days and spontaneous fermentation. Total of 20 days work between fermentation and maceration. Finally, malolactic fermentation and then ageing in concrete for a minimum of 4 months until its optimal moment of bottling and consumption.
