César Márquez Pico Ferreira

The single-vineyard bottling 2019 Pico Ferreira shows the new Vino de Paraje category that will be Vino de Viña Clasificada, the single-vineyard category that needs a track record of at least five years. From an ancient plot on slate soils at close to 700 meters in altitude in Corullón (Toral de los Vados), this is a wine that he has fine-tuned to remove the rusticity from previous years and excelled at it (especially in 2020!). He included the white grapes from the field blend, harvested a little earlier, with 30% full clusters and aging in 500- and 600-lite oak barrels. 1,200 bottles were filled in December 2020.
