Winemaker’s note: Our queen variety, and it behaves as such. This is precisely a vintage that tests the resilience of the varieties in the face of endless periods of drought, and as I say, the Picapoll Negre has been up to the level. Working with this Estate is a great thing, thanks to the high clay content, it has allowed us to resist the lack of water. The vinification of this variety is a classic, and at the same time the most exigent of all. We are very proud to have this bottle on the market. It has been worth the perseverance. A wine that speaks a lot about our landscape.
