“Finesse and Fruity Intensity”100% Garnacha.
1.695 bottles.
Manual grape harvest of each grape variety in small ten-kilogram tubs. Cooling in cold room until the temperature of the grapes goes down to 3 °C. Double selection of clusters and grains, with mild destemming and crushing. Individual vinification of grapes from La Ladera de Zorraquín and El Recuenco. Gravity-fed into French oak vats with no pumping. Cold macerated and fermented for 19 days with native yeast strains. Gravity racked to new and second-year French 500-litre oak barrels before malolactic fermentation.
18-month stay in barrels from different cooperages without racking. The wine remains over lees until bottled, with periodic bâtonnages during the first four months. The wine is bottled without filtering or fining, so a small amount of natural precipitate may appear over time.
Our bottle is inspired in an original eighteenth-century bottle that is on exhibit at the Vivanco Museum of the Culture of Wine.
Very intense garnet-cherry red. Powerful, complex aroma, with abundant ripe red and dark fruit, and well-integrated find wood. There are also elegant mineral notes, spices, toffee and liquorice. Very expressive in the mouth, with a silky, fresh, tasty, intense mouthfeel, leaving a long aftertaste, complex and elegant.
All kinds of char-grilled red meat, foie gras, casseroles and game dishes.
If the 2020 vintage will go down in history due to the pandemic and the challenges it posed to humanity, 2021 will be remembered for “Filomena”, the last major winter storm on record in Spain. A historic snowfall between January 6th and 9th, 2021, hydrated the land like it had not been seen in years. Spring once again proved to be humid, especially in the Tudelilla area, with over 100 liters of rainfall from April to May. An unusual summer then followed, with a cool and dry July, further delaying the vineyard's cycle, and culminating in an ideal August for grape growing loaded of warm days and cool nights, resulting in a harvest date in October, almost reminiscent of another era. The Garnacha grapes were crunchy, smooth, acidic, and enveloping, offering a wine to remember. Our El Recuenco vineyard was harvested on October 15th, and the La Ladera de Zorraqui?n vineyard on the 6th.
