Pequeñas Puertas La Peli 2022

The 2022 Pequeñas Puertas La Peli, another collaboration with Matías Michelini, is a light red produced with Garnacha Gris (Garnacha Roya) from the same vineyard as the Viura Jirafas (La Carbonella). The destemmed grapes fermented in two 1,000-liter vats with some punch-downs to extract the little color the grape has, then it matured in a used 500-liter barrel for 18 months. The color is a pale salmon, more a rosé than a red, but it clearly goes beyond the color; it's serious and harmonious, fresh and delicate, with 12.6% alcohol, a low pH of 2.65 and 6.55 grams of acidity. It has a dry, chalky texture and complex flavors that somehow remind me of the rosé from Viña Tondonia, a similarity that has already appeared in previous years. 1,320 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024.
