Decanter
From a parcel of sandy soil and gravel. 2016 was a warm year and harvest began on 28 August. Mildew reduced the yield to one-third of the usual, and the alcohol is a little higher this year, so Perez did a shorter maceration to avoid heavy extraction. The wine has alluring aromas of mulberry and light smoke, with a notably rich and fleshy palate leading to a warm finish. Drinking Window 2019 - 2024
