Storage potential

To serve

Trial analysis
Bright red colour. Floral on the nose, at first; then come notes of ripe, red and black fruit, and above all, interesting earth aromas. fragrances.
The first impression on the palate is rather vegetal, but evolves towards richer and riper notes, with a nice volatile acidity.
This wine is certainly not made to please every drinker.

Wine estate

The work of a life time, that of Fernando Gonzalez, who started to recuperate old vines, almost abandoned, some 25 years ago. After rebuilding the walls that protect them from erosion, he started to make wine again with them.
This heroic, extreme cultivation takes place on slopes up to 85%.
Today, Fernando owns 16 hectares on the slopes, more than 40 blocks of vines, mainly planted with red varieties. Raúl Pérez transmitted to him his wine philosophy: wine is made in the vine, with a deep respect for the territory and its identity.
