Note di degustazione
From a 1-ha single vineyard. Mainly Bobal with a few other local varieties in the field. The name means 'narrow'. Light cherry red. Smoky, lightly reductive but still sweet in red-cherry fruit. Inviting dusty character. Gorgeous dry texture but succulent and pretty. Elegant, lightish but very, very long. Perfect harmony and great length. (JH)

The nose of the 2016 La Estrecha combined mineral aromas and floral notes. They took the risk to harvest the grapes a little later, even waiting after the first rains. This gave them a longer cycle, and the rain provided more balanced grapes that had less concentration and could have longer macerations. The wine has higher alcohol than the 2015, but it's not noticeable. This is more approachable than Pino; the two wines have different character—La Estrecha is more elegant and ready early on, and the Pino is a little closed and in need of more bottle age. In the end, it's more a question of taste, as both have similar levels of quality. They produced three barrels of this, some 2,000 bottles were filled in August 2017.
