The 2022 Señora de Las Alturas is riper, with 13.95% alcohol, reflecting a warm and dry year of concentration and clout but still balanced and harmonious. This centenary Garnacha vineyard on deep gravel, clay and calcium carbonate soils has a good ability to retain water and always delivers elegant and delicate wines. It has complexity and depth, nicely textured with fine-grained, chalky tannins, with a little more roundness this year. It fermented in open 1,000-liter pools with 5% each Garnacha Blanca and Mazuela (Cariñena) and matured in four second-year 500-liter French oak barrels. Super tasty. 2,600 bottles were filled in January 2024.
Despite the warmer vintage, the 2022 offers an immediacy and richness that is highly
appealing. From a very old, pre-phylloxera single vineyard, this Garnacha is incredibly
pretty with rose petal, red cherry and a hint of cola. A touch of rhubarb sourness and blood orange add zest, on top of a vibrant stony core makes for a lively palate that is very refreshing and morish. It is a wine at once sublimely elegant and complex, offering glass after glass of pleasure! 2024-30.
