100% Tinta del País from El Otero. This plot has dry, low-fertile, gently eroded clay-loam slopes at 850 m elevation, perfectly suited for the style we are looking for. Harvest began on 14 October and the grapes were picked in 20 kg boxes before placing them on an optical sorting table. Cold maceration for a week helped to enhance the varietal aromas and bright colours. Malolactic fermentation, in French oak barrels, lasted 72 days, with weekly stirrings of its fine lees. The wine was aged for 16 months in French oak barrels with two manual rackings. At the end of this stage, the best 85 barrels were bottled in March 2022.
