Complete description
Vintage Description:
Deep garnet. Mineral-tinged cherry, raspberry, vanilla and exotic spice aromas show excellent clarity and take on a smoky nuance with air. Appealingly sweet and expansive on the palate, offering juicy red fruit, rose pastille and spicecake flavors energized by a minerally topnote. Shows impressive energy and florality on the persistent finish, which is given shape by polished, even tannins. (Josh Raynolds - Vinous, Juni 2021)wine:

GRvineyard:
In the 1960s, a severe crisis caused falling grape prices, which led to the clearing of many vineyards. In the Valle de Nekaas, only 40 small parcels of Garnacha grapes remained in the Chaparral, the upper part of the valley. 3 decades later they were reactivated for creating this wine from the unique grape material.Soil:
Mostly clay, but there are some sites that have a significant proportion of sand, which has allowed them to remain phylloxera resistant.grape age:
70 - 120 years, partly ungrafted.Ernte:
The cool Atlantic climate results in one of the latest harvests in Spain, that normally goes well into November.Vinification:
Separate fermentation of the grapes from the different parcels, around 20 days on the skins, of which at least 8 days are cold maceration. Malolactic fermentation in oak.Ageing:
6 month in new, second, and third use French oak barrels.Residual sugar:
