The weather during the summer of 2021 was marked by drought, and this lack of rainfall influenced the start of the harvest, resulting in smaller berry sizes. The harvest of red varieties coincided with a shift in weather conditions: rainfall had a highly positive impact on the ripening cycle, accelerating it and defining specific harvest times for each vineyard plot. Although the percentage of harvested Tempranillo was 10% lower, the red grapes from this vintage were healthy, powerful, and of outstanding quality.

The 2021 vintage wines: “Excellent”
They stand out for their expressive and rich range of intense, vibrant colors. On the nose, red and black fruit aromas dominate, complemented by mineral and floral notes. On the palate, the tannins are smooth, promising wines with perfect balance.
