The harvest: 2021 began with a good rainfall but that at the end of winter came a prolonged period of drought until well into September. In general terms it has been a dry year that has favored the health of the vineyard, reducing the number of phytosanitary treatments due to the excellent condition of the grapes. The harvest in terms of quantity is very similar to that of 2020 and even slightly higher, favored in some vineyards by the precipitation at the end of September. These climatic conditions have caused the harvest to come about 10 days later than the 2020 harvest, obtaining warmer wines, with less acidity than other years but with a very remarkable colorimetric potential, making powerful and structured wines. They are wines slightly less aromatic due to the heat but they gain in color and structure.

Nose: The varietal profile of the Viura, the work on the lees and the presence of wood both on the nose and on the palate makes the whole wine extraordinarily complex.
Palate: It is fatty and broad on the palate, where an extraordinary aging potential can be guessed.
Food pairing: Perfect to be paired with all kind of cheese, blue fish, white meet or rice dishes
