Pago de Carraovejas 2021

Luis Gutiérrez – Robert Parker Wine Advocate: ”The 2020 Pago de Carraovejas was produced with a blend of 92% Tinto Fino (a.k.a. Tempranillo), 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot. 2020 was a good vintage for them. They harvested earlier (but the wine still has 15% alcohol), all in small boxes and 3,000-kilogram containers, and they are also using 600-liter oak barrels and oak vats for the élevage. It has an expressive nose of ripe berries, sweet spices and some toast and is lush and creamy, with a soft texture. It’s powerful in the house style, but there’s balance and harmony. They produced some 800,000 bottles.” 93 Points
