年份
2020 年對我們所有人來說都是一個獨特的年份。雖然面臨挑戰，但我們的葡萄園條件對 2020 年的收成非常有利！年初的降雨（11 月、12 月、3 月和 4 月）高於平均水平，為生長季節提供了良好的水源，並在炎熱的夏季中提供了極大的幫助。成熟月份一開始有些不尋常，因為 6 月較冷，但 7 月和 8 月促使我們迅速進入成熟過程，趕上正常的時間表。9 月的降雨最終停止，使我們能夠收穫出色且平衡的年份，轉化為極其優雅的葡萄酒。
釀造過程
品種
80% Tempranillo，20% 其他品種
釀酒
採用法式傳統釀酒方式，Tempranillo 和秘密品種在整個釀酒過程中分開處理，使用不同的釀造協議，直至熟成結束前才進行混合。熟成過程中使用不同類型的橡木桶，來自不同的桶匠。這兩款酒在桶中熟成的時間不同，平均熟成時間為 12 個月。20% 使用美國橡木（密蘇里州），80% 使用法國橡木（阿利耶）。
品鑑筆記
這款酒散發著新鮮黑色和紅色水果的美妙香氣，還有來自桶熟成的巧克力和各種香料（如丁香和肉桂）的氣息。酒體新鮮果香濃郁，優雅、柔和，口感順滑且奶油般醇厚。
最佳飲用溫度
16°C 至 18°C。
VINEYARDS
Family-owned vineyards of Tempranillo variety located in the small town of Quintanilla de Onésimo. Gravel and pebble soils.
Quite young vineyards that were planted and grafted between 2004 and 2007 from sticks of our own genetic material selected from our best vineyards. Our “secret” variety vineyards are around 10 years old with clay and limestone soils. ORGANIC VITICULTURE
VINTAGE
Obviously, 2020 has been a very unique year for one for all of us, fortunately, although challenging in other ways, the conditions in our vineyards translated very favorably for our 2020 vintage! Rains at the beginning of the year (November and December, March and April) were higher than usual resulting in a great water reservoir for the rest of the ripening year which helped tremendously during a very warm summer. The ripening months began a little unusual since June was cooler than typical but July and August helped us to sprint into our ripening process, catching up with normal dates. September came with extra rains that finally ceased allowing us to harvest a generous and balanced vintage translating into very fine, balanced and extremely elegant wines.
VINIFICATION
Varieties
80% Tempranillo, 20% others
WINEMAKING
French Style traditional winemaking meaning both varieties, Tempranillo and the secret one, are made separately for the entire duration of the winemaking process with different vinification protocols and are not blended until the very end of the aging time.
Ageing process also occurs in different barrel types using even different coopers. The 2 wines sit in barrels for different periods of time and the final time averages out to 12 months

TASTING NOTES
This wine has wonderful aromas of fresh black and red fruits, with notes of chocolate and various spices such as cloves or cinnamon coming from its barrel aging.
It is a fresh and fruity wine, with great concentration. Elegant, soft, smooth and creamy in the mouth.
