Product notes

PARAJE ALTAMIRA 1100 MASL. Very stony, calcareous and heterogeneous. For this wine, plots of soils with a sandly loam surface layer berteen 20 and 60 cm thick were selected, resting on a horizon of granite stone covered with calcium carbonate.

Production notes

Manual harvest with bunch selection the warm summer brought forward the start of the harvest ans we worked to harvest each plot at its optimun point, avoiding over-ripenig.

Tasting notes

It has reached a level of stratospheric precision, the symmetry and elegance of this vintage is truly captivating. Everything seems to be in its right place, there is great harmony, its aromas are clean and pure and its liquid chalk texture is marked. It combines power and elegance, energy and finesse.
