CLIMATIC CYCLE
Precipitation during winter and early spring was good, with low temperatures, which meant that sprouting arrived somewhat late. In May we were 10 days late. June was a very warm month, reaching 40 degrees on the 18th. In one month, we went from having a phenological delay of 10 days to having an advance of the same time. The drought was enormous, with very long heat waves during the month of July, reaching 41 degrees. Summer was very hot and dry, turning into summer in the last week of July. Harvest was early and healthy, beginning on September 6th.

Nose:
Very intense and fruity, with an impression of red fruits that protrude from the glass. Cherries, raspberries and red plums stand out. The oak is perfectly integrated, almost imperceptible, despite being in barrel for 12 months. The effect of the oak used in this wine is what was sought, favouring aging without marking it. In addition to the freshness and fruit that are the main axis, these sensations rest on a complex base of aromatic herbs and notes of limestone soil.
Palate:
It is of medium volume, with a great sensation of freshness. The red fruit stands out in the dimensions seen on the nose. The tannin is lively but very fine. It has a lot of persistence and leaves a pleasant sensation of freshness and fruit. It adapts very well to low temperatures and invites you to continue drinking. It will live very well in the bottle, but it is already great to enjoy.
