Tasting Notes
Maturation
A part of the volume spends five months in French oak (not toasted, steam bending) with its lees, and the remaining volume is also aged with its lees in a concrete tank.
Vinification
Light pressing, without needing to work in an inert atmosphere, some work in the open, and about 50% of stems in the pressing. The objective being a more Burgundian style that highlights the qualities of the land, over the varietal expression. Minimum SO2 and spontaneous fermentation. All alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at a constant temperature of 16C.
Vintage Notes
Following heavy rains in November and early December 2021, we started 2022 with an almost total absence of precipitation during January and February. Later, we saw some humidity and temperatures milder than average. In mid-April we were given a preview of the heatwave that would come in late Spring. In May, average temperatures were above 25C. This resulted in an uneven vegetative growth among the vines. The arrival of June brought a 20C drop in temperature a matter of two days before beginning to rise again sharply, ushering in a very warm July and August with no rainfall. September was atypical due to the lack of the normal thermal oscillation at night. Minimum night time temperatures were close to 20C, which is unusually high for that time of year. Finally, the harvest began with no rainfall, which helped produce small, concentrated grapes, resulting in a very good vintage.
Region Notes
Our vineyards located around Haro (limestone soils) and the Alto Najerilla (clay-ferrous soils). Generally old bush vines located in the highest areas.
