Vermell 2021

The red blend 2020 Vermell was produced with 70% Garnacha Tintorera, 25% Mandó and 5% Arcos. The Mandó, used in this wine since 2018, gives it more balance, finesse and roundness, and the Arcos, which should increase in percentage in the following years as the new plantings come into production, gives it a little more length. It matured in underground and buried 2,600-liter clay tinajas (amphorae) for five months. It has 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.4, which speaks of its great freshness. It has a pale and bright ruby color, and it's medium-bodied, perfumed and fresh. It's more elegant and has more finesse; they have fine-tuned the vinification of the Garnacha Tintorera, which is also being reduced in the blend. All the reds from 2020 are one step above previous vintages. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2021.
