The Predicador 2021 is the result of the blending of selected grapes. The fermentations were carried out at controlled temperatures between 15ºC and 24ºC and lasted approximately 15 days.
The Predicador 2021, in this vintage, was made with grapes from our vines aged 20 to 40 years. Due to the drought, the vines had to be irrigated to obtain a good balance. The end of maturation was correct and in very good health.
Tasting: Medium to deep cardinal red color.
On the nose, balsamic notes with a slight mineral character. Notes of ripe red fruits and a light, fine woodiness. On the palate, it is fresh, fine and elegant. Long finish.
