Laderas de Sedella 2013

"2013 saw a wet and cold growing season with harvest later than average for the young vines used in the 2013 Laderas de Sedella. It has a field blend of Romé, Garnacha, Jaén, Montua and Moscatel Romano, similar to the one found in the old vineyard used for its sibling Sedella. This is sourced from young vines from 0.9 hectares planted on slate soils, but in this case with a southern exposition. It was cropped form a wet and cooler, more continental vintage than 2012. The different varieties were picked and fermented together in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and then transferred to terracotta amphorae, egg-shaped cement vats and oak for malolactic and 13 months of ageing without being racked. There are plenty of aromas of beef blood, minerals, Mediterranean herbs and even flowers over the core of berry fruit. The palate shows fine-grained tannins and good balance. This is super. 3,148 bottles were filled in May 2015".
