"The 2021 La Penitencia is fruit-driven and showcases the Amandi style. It comes from the Pombeiras Vineyard owned by Gu¡maro on the banks of the Sil River. It does not have the tension it has shown in some previous vintages and feels rounder and gentler, but it still has a great nose, floral and spicy with some exotic hints. It always has a spectacular nose; it's fragrant. The grapes ferment with full clusters and have a shortish maceration. The palate is medium-bodied, the tannins are very fine and it has nice balance and a very clean and intense finish. There are three 500-liter barrels, some 900 bottles. The idea is to move this wine to foudre. With time in the glass, the wine develops riper aromas."
