“The 2020 Phinca El Vedao was produced with Garnacha grapes from the place that names the wine, in the village of Elvillar. It fermented in a 2,000-liter concrete vat and matured in 500-liter French oak barrels for 30 months. It has a moderate 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.3 and 6.25 grams of acidity. It has a very balsamic nose reminiscent of a vermouth or a Barolo Chinato, with abundant sweet spices and aromatic herbs, intermixed with wild berry fruit. The palate reveals abundant, fine-grained, chalky tannins and a long, dry, clean and balsamic finish. 1,824 bottles were filled in September 2024.”
