HARVEST: | Grapes were handpicked in 200 kg crates and hand sorted at the winery. |
WINEMAKING: | Traditional elaboration. Fermented in stainless steel gently plunging the cap to extract the noble compounds from the skins. Malolactic fermentation 65% in new French oak and 35% in egg-shaped concrete tanks. |
SOIL: | Red colored ferrous-clay soils in the rolling hills of Badarán. |
CLIMATIC YEAR: | In general, 2020 was a cool and rainy year. It started with a very early bud break and the numerous spring rains resulted in fungal diseases (especially mildew) that impacted the harvest heavily. Beyond this, there were the obvious complications from the COVID-19 pandemic, which above all else, qualifies this year as “historic." After a warm summer, the moderate temperatures in September gave rise to a very balanced character to the wine, with ideal alcohol content, great aromatic intensity and excellent freshness. |
