Barco del Corneta 2021

Tasted next to the 2020 the 2021 Barco del Corneta feels a little riper and rounder, reflecting a slightly warmer end of the season with a barrel-fermented wine that finished with 13.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.27, keeping the balance. The oak is well integrated, as they used different sizes of barrels—300, 500 and 600 liters, only 10% new—where the wine was kept for nine months with the lees but no bâtonnage. This comes from their vines in La Seca, organically farmed and certified, and the wine shows serious and with some austerity on the palate despite the warmer year and the rounder wine. It's 12,327 bottles. It was bottled in August 2022.
