El Helechal 2018

The golden colored 2018 El Helechal was produced with Rufere Blanco from a sloped vineyard planted 18 years ago on slate soils. Part of the wine fermented with the skins for 15 days, a process that seems to have marked the wine in aromas and texture, and the rest was pressed directly and matured in 500-liter oak barrels. It has the profile of an orange wine with notes of quince, ripe yellow fruit and something earthy coupled with fine tannins in the palate and some creaminess from 10 months in used French oak barrels. It has very tasty flavors and finishes with an almost salty sensation. 1,300 bottles were filled in August 2019.
