PAZO DE LA CUESTA

PRODUCTION AND AGEING

It was characterized by optimal weather conditions that positively influenced the grape quality. The cool and slightly humid spring favored vigorous budding and incident-free fruit set. The summer was marked by sunny days and cool nights, allowing for a gradual and balanced ripening of the grapes. Harvest, carried out in the last week of September, took place under dry and stable weather conditions, ensuring the collection of grapes at their peak maturity, with excellent flavor concentration.

Handpicked harvest with fruit selection in the vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation below 20 ºC followed by malolactic fermentation, both in stainless steel tanks. Aging on lees and subsequent aging for 6 months in French oak barrels of 300 and 500 liters

TASTING NOTES

Intense cherry red color, of medium depth. On the nose, it is straightforward with very intense varietal aromas of strawberries and black currants with floral notes and a characteristic ripeness. The attack is fresh, highlighting its roundness in the mouth with good balance between alcohol, acidity, and tannins. Long aftertaste and a retro-nasal note characteristic of the mineral character of the plot.
