Los Peros Albillo Real 2019

The single-vineyard white 2019 Los Peros Albillo comes from the old vineyard that gives the wine its name, from the Andrinoso zone of San Martín de Valdeiglesias at 850 meters in altitude on granite soils. The juice from pressing the full clusters fermented with indigenous yeasts in 300-liter oak barrels and then matured for eight months in a used 500-liter oak barrel. It's from a low-yielding year in this vineyard, and the wine has more volume and body and is more concentrated than the Valautín from this same year. There are some bittersweet flavors here, a round palate and a soft texture, quite varietal. It has the stuffing to develop nicely in bottle, where it might gain some weight and develop more aromatic complexity. 600 bottles were filled in July 2021. - Luis Gutiérrez.
