VINTAGE 2015

CIRSION

Wine from selected bunches where the grapes have matured exceptionally.

In 1995 we discovered that some vines produced grapes whose flavor was very different to the one of the vines around them. They produced a sensation of fullness, of volume, with notes that were more alike to a wine than to a grape. Two years later, we made our first CIRSION, which we did not commercialize, and we tested that with a short aging, the wine reached a level of incredible silkiness and a fruit complexity out of the ordinary. Each vintage we walk through the vineyards looking for this curious natural peculiarity, and that’s how, one in a thousand, the CIRSION grapes are picked.

CLIMATIC CYCLE

Autumn and winter with lot of rain so the cycle began with enough water on the ground. Very cold winter. Spring fresh at its start but it changed in May, which was really warm and made the phenology process progress (flowering 1st June).

During May it did not rain at all, due to the winter reserves of water, it did not matter. It rained in June after the curd. July was extremely hot with highs of 35º-37ºC and storms that left good rainfall. Soft August, with cooler temperatures than usual.

Very early harvest, mid-September, finishing the 8th October, the earliest year that we have finished harvesting in our history. A year of perfect maturation, with Mediterranean influence and great wines.
