2022 Pablo Matallana Vinicola Taro Pet Nat, Lanzarote, Spain
$39.99
From a single organically farmed own -rooted parcel at 250m near La Vegueta, in central Lanzarote. The vines are about 20 years old, and planted on clay soils covered with black volcanic ash (picón). This is a different site than was used in previous vintages, as the old parcel continues to recover from drought.
The grapes were harvested, destemmed, and pressed immediately with a vertical press into stainless steel tanks, where they started fermentation at 22 degrees Celsius. Bottled before fermentation finished for ancestral method, then aged in bottle for 13 months before disgorgement in October 2022.
