Palacios Remondo

La Vendimia

The name means the harvest, the estate's youngest, most immediate red, a joven style released with minimal ageing. A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from the estate's own vineyards on the Falda del Monte Yerga, calcareous clay soil at 550 metres. Grapes are destemmed and given a partial carbonic maceration, then fermented around 20 days in stainless steel with regular pump overs. Fresh and expressive, brimming with freshly picked cherries and raspberries, subtle herbal and spicy notes and a mineral undertone. Juicy and flavourful on the palate, with well integrated acidity and smooth tannins, a slight toasted touch adding depth without losing freshness. An honest, versatile red that reflects the terroir and the more accessible, everyday side of Palacios Remondo, good served with a slight chill.
