Suertes del Marqués Candio

The single-vineyard 2019 Candio comes from the ripest vineyard they have, but the wine still kept at 12.7% alcohol and has a moderate pH (3.49) and 5.55 grams of acidity. It's an ancient vineyard pruned in the cordón trenzado system, located at 350 to 450 meters in altitude on clay-rich soils. This fermented with 50% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in concrete with a 20-day maceration, and it matured in two used 500-liter barrels and a second-use 2,500-liter oak foudre for 11 months. It has a very medicinal and pungent nose, balsamic and spicy with notes of cloves and more tannin than other wines. It needs time and/or powerful food. 4,100 bottles were produced. It was bottled in November 2020.
