Vega Sicilia, Pintia 2019 75 cl

Pintia er et projekt, som Alvarez familien påbegyndte, under fanen Tempos Vega Sicilia, i 1996. Alvarez startede deres færd med Vega Sicilia, så Alion og Pintia. I dag ejer de også Macan og Oremus i Ungarn. Alvarez havde flere gange set potentialet i jordbunden nær Duero-floden, så derfor var det nærliggende at sætte ind i Toro. De opkøbte enestående gamle parceller i området, og råder nu over i alt 96 hektarer. Halvdelen af markerne var allerede beplantet med optil 45 år gamle vinstokke.

The wine released in 2024 is the 2019 Pintia, from a very dry year when they did a softer vinification and used some 15% stainless steel for the élevage to keep the fruit and freshness. It fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and oak vats. It’s a powerful year; the wine has 15% alcohol and is round and full-bodied. It’s a heady and ripe Pintia. They had to be careful with the harvest date, and they harvested early and quite quickly. Even though the wine is ripe and heady, with notes of grenadine and small ripe berries, it’s also exotic and spicy, quite showy, lush and full-bodied, with the 2019 tannins. It’s a more powerful wine that is going to require patience. They produced 224,724 bottles, 6,587 magnums and some smaller and larger sizes. It was bottled in May 2021.
