The pink clarete, produced with red and white grapes, 2021 Pícaro del Águila Clarete is a blend of 35% Tempranillo, 35% Albillo Mayor and the rest other local grape varieties (Garnacha, Bobal, Bruñal, Monastrell, Tempranillo Gris, other Albillos, Garnacha Blanca, Pirules, Jaén, Moscatel, Malvasías...) found in the old vineyards. It's produced like a red, aged in French oak barrels for 19 months. It's perfumed and balanced, aromatic and showy and not a shy wine, with 14% alcohol. It's tasty, juicy and velvety, with freshness and a peachy feeling, very sapid and fresh; it didn't go through malolactic and kept a pH of 3.14. It's a bit riper than previous years. 7,333 bottles and 179 magnums produced. It was bottled in April 2023.
