DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN
Ribera del Duero.

VINEYARD AREA
Goblet-trained vineyards in Peñaranda de Duero. Dry-farmed, without irrigation.
Different orientations and altitudes.

VINE AGE
Over 50 years-old vineyards, located at 900 to 940 meters over the sea level.

SOILS
Great variability. Predominantly very poor soils of gravel and sand with limestone at depth.

VARIETIES
100% Albillo Mayor.

VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
A long-cycle vintage, with a higher-than-average rainfall. This made it vitally important to manage vine vigour accordingly. The berries were larger than those of 2019 but reached a magnificent ripeness during the month of September, owing to the work carried out in the field to control the load on each vine in order to achieve ideal ripeness at each of the vineyards.

AGEING
Six months in used 225-litre barrels and from selected cooperages which, due to their low toast content, will give us a minimum contribution to the wine and, consequently, a greater prominence to the variety and its evolution over the long period of bottle ageing.

ALCOHOL
ALCOHOL: 13% VOL.
TOTAL ACIDITY: 6 g/l in tartaric acidity.
VOLATILE ACIDITY: 0,4g/l. pH 3,3.
