Año climático

After a 2019 with low rainfall, the 2020 vintage was characterized by a winter of abundant rainfall. The vineyard managed to conserve its water reserve, which allowed the vineyard’s vegetative cycle to develop with excellent balance and homogeneity. Spontaneous and sown ground covers were used to control vigor. General budbreak took place at the end of April, with no climatic or health incidents. As there was no interference in the development and evolution of the buds, very good yields were obtained in the vineyard, which were balanced thanks to the thinning technique. Harvest began on September 14 and ended on October 10.

Carácter propio

Pago de Carraovejas 2020 is the most honest reflection of the valley to which it owes its name. A vineyard that scales the environment drawing a unique landscape. Plots are arranged between hillsides and moors reaching an altitude of 900 meters. The austere soils of tertiary geology combine limestone marl, clay and sandstone, giving the terroir unique properties. These soils force the vines to make an effort to self-regulate and give the best of themselves. Its south and north facing slopes, each with its natural richness, draw the profile of the Carraovejas Valley.

Elaboración por parcelas

The grapes for Pago de Carraovejas 2020 were harvested by hand after an initial selection of clusters in the vineyard. Subsequently, in the winery, a double selection was made: of clusters and berries. Gravity must production allows maximum respect for the raw material. During the fermentation process, indigenous yeasts from our estate were used. The wine was aged in French and American oak barrels for 12 months. For greater protection, the wine contains sulfites. The entire process was marked by precision and care in every detail. Finally it was clarified with natural egg white and bottled in the spring of 2022.
