Reviewed by Roger Voss on May 2023

This limited-production wine comes from selected fruit in the Quevedo vineyard. The wood-aged wine is beautifully textured and full of tangy white fruits. Still young, it needs to age and will be ready from 2024.

Winemaking Details

Viticulture:
2020 was an unusually hot year in all seasons but with sufficient levels of precipitation, giving rise to good, albeit rapid, ripening. The harvest started in August and was short and quick, hand-picked so that the grapes reached the ideal moment of maturation.

Fermentation:
Grapes were pressed whole-clustered, fermented on selected yeasts.

Aging:
Aged for 12 months in two years old 500-liter French oak barrels.

Winemaker:
Teresa Batista

FOOD PAIRING

Grilled pork, salmon Wellington, cheese plate
