the 2020 valbuena is from a year marked by covid-19 and lots of rain before the harvest, which resulted in a more ethereal wine, with 14% alcohol, a ph of 3.9 and 4.45 grams of acidity. it was produced with 97% tinto fino and 3% merlot, cooled down for 24 hours and then fermented with indigenous yeasts from a pied de cuve in stainless steel. it matured in barrel and oak vats during the first year, and in the second one, it aged exclusively in oak vats of different sizes, 8,500 and 21,000 liters. in 2020, the wine is finer-boned, it's more fluid, it's only medium-bodied, perhaps because of the dilution from the rain, and the tannins are fine-grained and polished, but there's less juiciness in the wine. it calls for food. with time in the glass, the wine opens up and becomes more aromatic, and it even seems to gain juiciness and change texture. this is a production of 186,286 bottles, 5,673 magnums and some larger formats. it was bottled in may 2023.
