Piqueras Black Label Syrah Monastrell 2022
Gold medal @ Gold Medal Gilbert & Gaillard 2024
750-850 metres above sea level, dry-farmed goblet vines and trellised vines, 30-35 years old. Organic agriculture, soils poor in nutrients and rich in limestone, low rainfall.
4-6 months in American and French Allier barrels of fine grain and medium toast (300 L).
Manual and machine harvest from 15 September, spontaneous fermentation with a gradual increase in temperature to 29ºC to obtain a good colour, then a gradual decrease to 23ºC to conserve the primary aromas of the fruit. Gravity racking, ageing for 4-6 months in barrels. Winery
Ripe red cherries, raspberries, crushed blueberries, red plums and a touch of vanilla on the nose. Medium-bodied and deep in colour with fine, well-integrated tannins, lingering on the palate with a silky fruit finish.
