VINTAGE
Vintage 2022 has sadly past onto history as the driest and the warmest vintage we ever recall. It didn’t rain at all from April until November unless for a local storm in August 11th when Saint Clara gave us 10 litters as her present! These extreme weather conditions translated into a very early and short harvest with tiny grapes, with no juice at all, just skin and seeds therefore extremely concentrated, the highest concentration ever seen. Nevertheless Nature is always amazing and in spite of this extreme conditions, the balance of the wines we got is simply PERFECT, having even amazing ph.
VINIFICATION
Varieties

WINEMAKING
French Style traditional winemaking meaning both varieties, Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, are made separately for the entire duration of the winemaking process with different vinification protocols. Fermentation temperatures remained quite low in both cases to preserve fresh fruit.

Brilliant deep garnet. In the nose, red berries such as red currant and cherries stand out strongly. On the pallet, JILGUERÍN 22 has sweet and tasty tannins. An easy wine to drink, enjoy with some friends and tapas! Cheers!
