The 2018 Crianza was produced mostly with grapes from their estate property La Revilla at 915 meters in altitude. It's a blend of 99% Tinto Fino with1% Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented by plot with indigenous yeasts and matured in used barrels for 12 months. The moorlands are higher in altitude and cooler, with a high content of limestone, and they want to showcase this terroir in their wines. The label now mentions Vino de Páramo (moorland wine). The wine has a delicate but powerful structure, perhaps given the larger grapes with more juice-to-skin ratio, with very chalky tannins and a long, dry finish. The wine is powerful but fresh and elegant, less extracted and with integrated oak, which seems to be the new house style. 240,000 bottles. (Luis Gutiérrez)
Vinos que llevan la impronta del terroir, elegantes, verticales y profundos, donde la madera acompaña, pero no enmascara la personalidad de la uva.
