Pujanza 2020

Like the other wines from this vintage, the 2020 Hado is a little lower in alcohol and has more freshness and acidity than the 2019 I also tasted next to it. This is still quite ripe at 14.5% alcohol but comes through as balanced. It comes from Tempranillo grapes from the estate vineyard and fermented in stainless steel and matured in barrique for one year. He harvested earlier in 2020 than in 2019, despite being a cooler year, when he had fun during the harvest. It's tight and still young, powerful and with abundant chalky tannins. 100,000 bottles produced.

A hint of dark olives and almonds to the spiced cherries and dark plums. Juicy and firm on the palate with a medium body and a tight, juicy finish. Could do with more depth of flavor. Better in 2025.
