17 BY PINEA

’17 by Pinea’ celebrates the year 2017, a very important year in the life of our winery due to the major events that took place then, including the commercial debut of our flagship wine, PINEA.

17 by Pinea is the most authentic expression of the Tempranillo grape. A domain wine, made with the best selection of grapes from our plots.

A wine that captures the elusive combination of intense concentration and lifted, complex aromatics that distinguishes the best Ribera del Duero wines.

A warm year with little climatic variation resulted in very healthy fruit. The cooler days of the harvest allowed us to better control the temperature of the incoming grapes prior to fermentation.

The grapes were sorted and picked by hand into 14 kg boxes in the vineyard. Once in the winery, we made a second selection of grapes, keeping only the best clusters.

Highly perfumed with aromas of dark forest berries and cherries, velvety texture and a round, deep finish.

The first shoots of the 2018 vintage arrived a little later than usual. A year earlier we had experienced one of the worst frosts in Ribera del Duero in living memory, which forced us at the beginning of 2018 to double our work in our vineyards when the plant revives and begins its cycle, taking great care in the formation of branches.

Expressive cheerful tones of somewhat ripe dark berries, with a fine thread of vanilla aromas and very mild notes of cedar playing a supporting role in the background.

The most important climatic event was the frost that occurred throughout the region during the spring, specifically in April. This circumstance complicated the field work during the summer and the management of the vegetation, but despite the climatic complications, the volumes and quantities were adequate and the grapes came in with a very high quality index. Yields were lower than in other vintages, which concentrated the potential and quality of the grapes harvested. A wine of high intensity with abundant and perfumed aromas.

Good weather conditions allowed the harvest to be harvested at optimum ripeness. Although the dates were slightly earlier than usual, the analytical and organoleptic characteristics indicated a perfect balance of the fruit, ideal for producing an excellent vintage. The grapes came in healthy and dry, thanks to the good weather and the absence of rain. Yields were low, which favored higher quality grapes.
