Montes Obarenes 2018
VINEYARDS | 25% Tempranillo Blanco from the surrounding area of Haro, 65% Viura, 5% Malvasía and the remaining 5% consisting of a blend of Garnacha Blanca and Calagraño from our vineyard Las Laderas de Ollauri. |
HARVEST: | Grapes were handpicked in 200 kg boxes and sorted by hand at the winery. |
WINEMAKING: | Fermented and aged on fine lees in new French oak barrel - 80% of the wine - and aged on fine lees in an ovoid concrete tank - 20% of the wine-. |
SOIL: | Vineyards grow in calcareous-clay soil with high limestone content. |
CLIMATIC YEAR: | The weather conditions during the 2018 vintage were radically different from 2017. The year began with a heavy snowfall on January 6, which foreshadowed a cold and rainy vintage. After one of the earliest harvests in history in 2017, we returned to a long vegetative cycle with a late harvest that began on October 12 with the white Tempranillo. The 2018 whites have great potential, with freshness and acidity. Without a doubt, one of the best white vintages of the last 10 years. |
