Old vines, from 35 to 80 years old.
2020 vintage was characterized by a rainier and colder spring than the average without frosts and by a drier summer, with a vineyard cycle faster than usual, with no diseases. The harvest proceeded as planned, with 40% higher yields than 2019. All this led to perfect sanitary conditions for the grapes. Wines in general have higher acidity and concentration, with a bit less structure.
Deep clay soil with pebbles on the surface.
Vineyards located between 750 and 1000m above the sea level.

The liturgy of the wine service recommends tasting it between 14-16°C with a glass such as Riedel Hermitage, but we will be pleased if you enjoy it with what, when and however you choose.
