The juicy, aromatic and expressive 2021 Tinto de la Casa is redolent and violets, wild berries and herbs, with good ripeness, 14% alcohol, notable acidity and freshness, very fine tannins and a chalky texture. It finishes dry. It fermented with 50% full clusters in oak vats with indigenous yeasts where it matured until the following harvest, but there's no noticeable oak at all. It comes 50% from Gualtallary and 50% from Las Compuertas, but the grapes were picked the same day and fermented together.
