Ossian Capitel 2022

2022 / 95 puntos

The 2022 Capitel is a single-vineyard wine from an ancient 1.5-hectare plot in Nieva, called Peña Aguda. The clusters were pressed, the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in 228-liter oak barrels, and the wine was kept without racking in those barrels for 12 months. It has the sapid, almost salty character from the slate soils. They believe this is the vintage when they managed to capture the character of the place, while the wine is elegant and crunchy, with the old expression of the variety—dry and with a bitter twist in the finish. 2,996 bottles were filled in February 2024.
