" The 2019 Criolla has moderate alcohol. The grapes were picked at 13% alcohol the second week of March, and they fermented in concrete eggs with 30% full clusters that were foot trodden and with indigenous yeasts. The élevage was in egg and lasted some eight months. This is quite in line with the 2018, with more freshness, quite floral and elegant. The palate reveals textured tannins and very good balance, with a dry finish."
