Vintage
The vintage has been much better than expected. Although the year began with a lot of precipitation and the spring was rainy and warm, it was necessary to exercise extreme caution against fungal diseases. The year improved in the summer months as it was accompanied by dry, hot weather that favoured both good sanitary conditions and phenolic maturation. The expected result is very hopeful and with very structured and powerful wines.

Winemaking
Poyotos is the name of a small peak, border between Leza and Páganos. The vineyard is located on a hill, difficult to access, and perhaps for this reason it has been preserved to this day, avoiding grubbing up. It was planted it in 1920, and today, at more than 100 years old, it produces a small number of grapes (below 2,000 kg/Ha).It is undoubtedly the varietal mix that makes Finca Poyotos so special. Two thirds of the assemblage are old Tempranillos, while the other third is made up of a mixture of Garnacha, Graciano, Bobal, Viura, Malvasía Riojana, Calagraño, and 11 strains of old varieties that are being identified little by little. This is one of the secrets of the complexity of this wine. Malolactic fermentation in inox vat, malolactic in French 500 l barrels
