La Sillería 2021

The 2021 Parajes del Infierno La Sillería is a barrel-fermented and -aged Verdejo from ungrafted centenary vines in Alcazarén (still in the province of Valladolid) on sandy and limestone soils that produce a more austere and mineral wine. It has moderate ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.19, finishing bone dry, tasty and almost salty, tasty from the limestone. It fermented and matured in 500- and 600-liter Austrian oak barrels for 12 months and then was transferred to stainless steel to use the barrels for the new harvest and was bottled a few months later. It starts very austere and serious and takes time to open up in the glass. It's subtle and elegant, with great balance, volume, texture, freshness and elegance with a pulse of freshness, acidity and length. This is really outstanding. 1,656 bottles were filled in July 2023.
