Aalto 2018

The Aalto is hot and for good reason. Great wine for lovers of a full, firm, complex wine. The winter was warm and at the end of this season there was rain. Spring was also rainy. The opening of the buds took place under humid and mild temperature conditions and there was only a little frost in the spring. June and July were warm and rainy, but not overly so. August brought a heat wave, followed by some moderate days and light showers in September, which were favorable for harvesting perfectly healthy and ripe grapes. All in all, 2018 was therefore almost ideal in terms of conditions for a top wine.

The Aalto has a bright color with good acidity. Aalto has a voluminous taste and is medium to full bodied, The nose has intense aromas of fruit with light wood in the background. The wine is full-bodied and complex but without compromising freshness. It has the typical flavors of a (good) Tempranillo, such as liquorice and black fruit and roasted coffee, spices and tobacco, which remain nicely balanced through impeccable wood aging.

The Aalto is made from 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) from very old vines between the ages of 40 and 80 years. The Aalto is fermented in tapered stainless steel tanks after which the wine stays in oak barrels for 18 months, 50% of which is new French oak and 50% for one to three years of French and American oak. Expected drinking window is 2021-2031.
