Tras los Muros 2019

Tras Los Muros uses grapes from three parcels on the estate that are picked last but still retain lots of acidity. Fermented and aged in barrels, with lees stirring for added texture, this has subtle patisserie spice and lanolin aromas, plenty of grip and backbone and pithy lime and elderflower fruit. 2024-32. 

I tasted again the 2019 Tras los Muros that last year I found quite oaky and creamy after it fermented and matured in 225-, 350- and 500-liter oak barrels for six months with bâtonnage. Time in bottle has done it good, and the oak shows a lot more integrated now, but of course, it has a different profile from the rest of the range; it has a deep golden color and now a much more developed nose with hints of honey and caramel. The acidity is pretty integrated too, and the wine feels harmonious and ready now. In fact, I wouldn't wait too long before pulling the cork. 2,750 bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2020. (Luis Gutiérrez)
