2018 Pago de Valdebellon

The pure Cabernet 2018 Pago Valdebellón reflects a cooler year with more availability of water in a powerful way, with good ripeness and more freshness. The grapes were picked between the 20th and 22nd of October and fermented with 12 days of maceration. It matured in new French oak barrels for 16 months. This is serious, deep and complex, with a varietal profile adapted to the place, keeping the herbal notes but with good ripeness (14.5% alcohol), peppery and developing notes of paprika, more serious, less fruit-driven. It has good grip, with fine tannins and subtleness and elegance. Clean and elegant, with some incipient complexity. 5,150 bottles were filled in May 2020.
