Vintage: | 2021 |
---|---|
Description: | Alomado refers to the rolling hills or "lomas" that mark the landscape of the Sonsierra Riojana, considered by many to the finest terroir in Rioja for cultivating Tempranillo due to the Atlantic weather, high altitude, and limestone rich soils. Alomado is Eduardo and Carlota's most Atlantic and accessible interpretation of a field blend planted on the Ábalos side of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Alomado is a field blend of roughly 80% Tempranillo, 10% Viura, 6% Malvasía, 4% Calagraño. Vines planted in 1960. Practicing organic traditional viticulture. High density trellised field blend located on south-west facing mountain slopes. Due to the small size of the project, all viticultural duties including pruning, leaf pulling, plowing by horse, selecting cover crops, and digging soil pits are all carried out by Eduardo. Aged for 18 months in 500-litre barrels and 3 months in bottle |
