Dominio de Es Viñas Viejas de Soria 2024 en Primeur

The very young 2024 Viñas Viejas de Soria has approximately 4% Albillo (less than in 2023) and 0.6% Alicante Bouschet to complement the Tempranillo from 25 plots of vines in the village of Atauta. It has contained ripeness and lower alcohol than the 2023 I tasted next to it. It fermented with 5% full clusters in oak vats of different sizes with indigenous yeasts and has been maturing in 23 Burgundian barrels since the January 15, 2024. They did a softer vinification this year, trying not to extract too much tannin, as the wine has less stuffing than the 2023. It does improve in the glass, which is a good sign, showing significantly better one hour later. The expectation is to produce around 7,000 bottles. He has a cooler cellar with more humidity, so he doesn't know if the élevage is going to be slower and might have to bottle them later.
