"The 2020 El Jard¡n de las Iguales Macabeo was produced with the grapes from a singular vineyard that was planted in 1890 on sloped slate soils. The grapes were picked on September 4 and fermented in a 1,000-liter oak foudre with indigenous yeasts after 40 hours of maceration with the skins. It matured in the foudre for 12 months. It has 13.5% alcohol and remarkable freshness (pH 3.12 and 6.2 grams of acidity). It follows the line of the 2019; I see both vintages as very complete, nuanced, elegant and fresh. This is a little slimmer, and there's more electricity. It's a little more floral and very tasty. Only 812 bottles were filled in April 2022."
