Opis
LaOsa TRASTO Tinto 2021
Region: D.O LEÓN
Soil: Alluvial clay
Elevation: 800-900m
Vinifera: 100% Prieto Picudo
Winemaker: Noelia de Paz
Vineyard: 25 years old vines, dry farmed vineyards, non-cert. organic. D.O León is one of the windiest growing regions in Spain, and that affects the grapes through the development of thick skins. Alluvial clay soils allow for good water retention, although the region sees very little rain < 20 inch/year. Poor nutrient profile in the soil means little green harvesting is needed to naturally achieve 2-3 tons per acre.
Production: Hand Harvested, destemmed, native fermented Prieto Picudo for 20 days, later pressed into neutral barrel for 5 months. Daily pump-overs with minimal extraction. 10% of previous vintage is kept in barrel and blended back into for complexities and balance.
Wine: Nose of forest floor and wild blackberries. Hints of frambois. Density and grip on the mid-palate finish with medium bodied, chalky tannins that are matched with dark fruits and eucalyptus. The presence of Prieto Picudo is firm but gives way to juicy fruits. Heavy potpourri and dried purple flowers.
