2017 Paganos El Puntido Magnum

The Puntido vineyards are owned by the Eguren family and the Puntido comes from only 1 vineyard where only the Tempranillo grape is grown. The vineyard is more than 45 years old and is located quite high. A solid, well-balanced red wine. Can be drunk but will get better and better as the years go by and can certainly be imposed until 2030. The wine is aged for 16-18 months in French oak and then bottled for a few more years before being released on the market. The Puntido vineyard is 25 Has. (61.74 acres) located at an elevation of 600 m on calcareous clay soils with a deep sandy rocky subsoil. The vineyard was planted in 1975 with a high density so that the vines have to work and root deeply due to competition. Organic fertilization every 2 years. The final yield is very low and only half of what is allowed with only 18.2 hl/ha. The production is completely ecological with respect for the environment according to the biorhythm of the plant. Extensive manual selection and crate harvesting with perfectly healthy, ripe grapes.
