The red Garnacha 2021 Cuesta del Tejar was produced with grapes from two adjacent plots in the slate zone of Galayos in Cebreros at some 890 meters in altitude, closer to the El Burguillo reservoir and therefore a little cooler. 2021 was a cooler year, and in Cebreros, the year balanced the natural power and concentration of the wines. This shows fine-boned and juicy. It’s aromatic, nuanced and complex, floral, with ripeness and freshness, concentration and elegance. It has 14.5% alcohol with a low pH of 3.19. This had a longer élevage, 16 months in used 500-liter barrels. 1,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023.
