Los Arrotos del Pendón 2015

The 2015 Los Arrotos del Pendón is completely different from the rest of the wines. It is made with Prieto Picudo grapes, and it's not from Bierzo, but from another zone in León. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in barrel for two years, as the variety is very tannic and needs time to polish its edges. This is a cooler zone at almost 1,000 meters in altitude, and it's very windy, which results in very healthy grapes and small bunches; the wines are concentrated, ripe and a little rustic, with some dusty tannins. 10,000 bottles produced. They have four hectares and a winery that they are rebuilding. - Luis Gutiérrez.
