La Viña Escondida 2020

2020 / 96 puntos

The 2020 Viña Escondida comes from their oldest vineyard, an 82-year-old plot in the village of El Real de San VIcente on silt, limestone and granite soils. The Escondida fermented with 100% full clusters with moderate extraction and matured in a 2,000-liter French oak foudre for 18 months. It's always elegant, delicate and floral, looking for the expression of the terroir. It follows the path of the excellent 2018; it has 14.5% alcohol, revealing good ripeness and balance, and a serious, complex and elegant nose with some spiciness, hints of orange peel and violets. It's young but approachable and should also make old bones. 2,950 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.
