Itsasmendi Parcelario 7.1 2017

Some of the plots that contribute to the 7 bottling are kept separately, today in an almost experimental way, but they will be more important and will have a new brand called Paradisus in the future. I tasted three different versions from the cooler and Atlantic 2017 vintage, and the 2017 Parcelario 7.1 comes from a "paraje" called Peruri in the village of Leioa. It's pure Hondarrabi Zuri Zerratie planted in 1992 on a 35% slope on lutite and sandstone soils. It was kept with the fine lees for six months. This feels riper, heavier and more advanced than the other 2017s and the 7 blend; it has notes of quince and golden apples and a round, soft palate with integrated acidity. 1,231 bottles were filled in July 2018.
