Rolland Galarreta Ribera del Duero "Parcelas en altura"

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

85% Old Vine Tempranillo, 15% Merlot. The grapes come from Finca La Revilla, a moorland estate at more than 900m altitude in Piñel de arriba, Valladolid .The selection of these grapes is carried out in the vineyard and later again at the selection table. The stalks are then removed from the grapes without squeezing them. Long macerations at low temperatures in oak casks with the cap submerged. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in French oak casks. This wine has been bottled without filtration.
