{"product_id":"vega-sicilia-toro-pintia-2020-magnum","title":"Vega-Sicilia Toro Pintia 2020 Magnum","description":"\"The 2020 Pintia is from a powerful year of concentration, so they were very careful with the harvest date, did a softer vinification trying to extract less and included amphorae and less toast in the élevage. It's opulent and juicy but gentle. The wine reached 15.5% alcohol and has a pH of 3.9 with 4.4 grams of acidity. It fermented in stainless steel and oak vats with indigenous yeasts. It was a very warm and dry vintage in Toro, with a heat wave before the harvest, so they had to rush to pick the grapes; and still, the wine is richer and more powerful, even though the amphorae helped them contain the sensation of ripeness in the wine. It has a heady and ripe profile that's very aromatic and showy, with notes of very ripe berries, prunes and decayed violets, with a faint volatile twist. It matured 70% in new barrels, 10% in used barrels, 10% in stainless steel and 5% in clay pots. It's full-bodied and lush, with abundant, slightly dusty tannins. It's a ripe and powerful vintage for Pintia, but it evolves nicely in the glass, showing less of its ripe side with time, which to me is a good sign. Some 14,304 half bottles, 209,009 bottles, 6,645 magnums and some larger formats were produced. It was bottled in August 2022.\" - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate","brand":"Tempos Vega Sicilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50888070201650,"sku":"VGS075MXR2020","price":2550.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/2044\/8562\/files\/file_843115e4-7022-4c49-a1d5-97811b952db7.jpg?v=1771238109","url":"https:\/\/greatdomaines.co.za\/products\/vega-sicilia-toro-pintia-2020-magnum","provider":"Great Domaines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
