Vintage 2019
The 2019 viticultural year was marked by dry weather. Spring began with high temperatures, which subsequently dropped and remained low during the entire summer. Some rainfall occurred at just the right point of the vines’ growth phase, and flowering took place in excellent weather conditions, leading to medium to high yields with healthy berries. The mild days and cool nights of the month of August allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and harmoniously.
Harvesting began on 8 August. The peak harvesting period took place during the week of 8 - 15 September, with the harvest ending on 1 October.Forgoing any special sorting process, 100% whole bunches were transferred into stainless steel lagares equipped with mechanised stomping devices, where they macerated for a short period of time.
Lastly the wine went through malolactic fermentation in old wooden barrels where it also matured for approximately 22 months.
