Tasting Notes

"The 2018 Pintia comes from a cooler and wetter vintage when the grapes were picked between September 20th and October 7th, and it fermented in their new fermentation room where they feel they can be more precise. The wine still has 15% alcohol, with a pH of 3.82 and 4.6 grams of acidity. It had a shorter élevage this year and matured for 10 months in French and 18% American oak barrels, 81% of them new. The nose is very expressive, with bright cherry fruit, and the wine is fresher than the norm in the region, with integrated alcohol and oak, reflecting a very cool year, floral and perfumed. The palate is medium-bodied and reveals very fine and elegant tannins. This has to be one of the finest vintages of Pintia. 251,512 bottles, 14,144 half-bottles, 6,543 magnums and some larger formats produced. It was bottled in April 2020." - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate

Producer spotlight

Tempos Vega Sicilia

Grapes were first grown in the area we know today as Ribera del Duero since Roman times. One of the Roman’s requirements for settlement in any area was access to clean water and the means to transport goods. These requirements were delivered by the Duero valley and the river running through it. In 1864, Eloy Lecanda founded the winery that is today Spain’s most famous wine. The estate suffered a period of turbulence in the years following it’s founding with real stability being achieved only when the Álvarez family considered adding winemaking to their already extensive portfolio of diversified businesses. The Vega Sicilia we know today began in 1982, when billionaire industrialist David Álvarez acquired the winery and the vineyards.
