"Our finest plot" is how Jorge Monzón describes this west and southwest-facing parcel at 890 metres. Cultivated biodynamically, it's one of the oldest vineyards in La Aguilera. Fermented with 100 whole bunches, it's a delicate, refined, layered field blend of Tinto Fino and five other varieties. Taut and focused, with remarkable delicacy, chalky intensity and flavours of citrus, red cherry, raspberry and red plum. Long, spicy and hauntingly ethereal.
