Tasting Notes:
On the nose, aromas of black forest fruits and ripe cherries stand out, with hints of vanilla and subtle cedar. Medium-bodied, its texture is elegant and velvety, with a round, deep finish. The palate reveals balanced acidity and a minerality characteristic of limestone soils. Well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish.
- The 2021 vintage in Ribera del Duero, particularly in the Burgos area, was characterized by a complex and balanced ripening cycle.
- After a cold, dry winter, the spring brought well-distributed rains that favored vigorous vegetative development. The summer, with moderate temperatures, allowed for a slow ripening, enhancing the concentration of aromas and freshness in the grapes. The cool nights in September preserved the natural acidity, culminating in a late and selective harvest.
- This vintage stands out for its elegance, with wines of remarkable depth, structure and exceptionally polished character, a true reflection of PINEA’s terroir.
Own vineyards:
17 is obtained from a large selection of grapes from the 35 hectares that make up the Pinea Estate; a mosaic of nine plots with different soil characteristics, slope, orientation and age.
Harvest by hand:
From October 5 to 13, 2021.
Vinification and aging:
Fermentations are carried out in 10,000-liter stainless steel tanks with initial cold maceration to preserve all the varietal aromas. Once the pre-fermentation phase is completed, temperature-controlled fermentation continues, which favors the extraction of color and polyphenols that give the wine part of its body and complexity.
