Meteorology/ Climatology
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.
Soils
Deep clay soil with pebbles on the surface.
Altitude, Latitude & Longitude
Vineyards located between 750 and 1000m above the sea level.
Latitude: 40º 27´21’’/ Longitude: 1º 45’43’’
Winemaking
Viticulture
Goblet Pruning: three arms and two shoots/arm. No cover crop.
Oenology
Cold pre-fermentative maceration (3 days) and 3 weeks of fermentation/maceration. Native yeasts.
Aging
6 months of aging on fine lees in concrete tanks with periodic battonages.
Tasting
Notes
Notes of black amber plum, blueberries, blackberries, borage flower and thyme, with a menthol background.
Wine pairing
Ideal to enjoy with friends by the glass and with some snacks. We propose also a regional dish: Ternasco, the young lamb from Aragón. Try accompanying it with oven roasted potatoes.
Serving
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.
