TASTING NOTES
FOOD PAIRING
THE 2016 HARVEST: A mild winter with lower than usual rainfall. Abundant rain in spring and low temperatures delayed the budding of the vines.
The dry summer with high temperatures led to a delay in ripening, especially in the youngest vines and in those located on drier soils, but in older vineyards with deeper roots, ripening took place at the usual time, with medium-sized berries and a greater number of berries per cluster.
Nevertheless, the unbeatable weather conditions in September and October, together with the impeccable health of the crop, allowed for a correct ripening, albeit a little uneven, which meant that the harvest was very carefully studied by plot , taking longer than usual.
They are reminiscent of those of the early 90s, which resulted in wines for cellaring with proven longevity and fresh, fruity young wines.
