Aalto P.S. Pagos Seleccionados Tinto is made from 100 percent Tempranillo.
Climatic conditions
The farming year began with a mild autumn and little precipitation. A very dry winter started with -9ºC reaching at the end higher temperatures than normal for that time of the year. Spring and summer characterized by little rain, only some rain showers in July and late August avoided the hydric stress of the vines. The vegetative cycle of the vine developed with big variations of temperatures, alternating warm and atypical low temperatures of 4ºC for mid-June. The ripening of the grapes happened under very good conditions and the harvest started on 24th September 2019.
Grape origin
100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) primarily from very old vines – 60 to 90 years old – from selected plots in La Horra and La Aguilera. The harvest was done by hand, in small boxes of 15 kilos that are thoroughly inspected, bunch by bunch, on the selection table.
Tasting notes

"Tinto elaborado exclusivamente a partir de uvas Tempranillo, advindas de vinhedos entre 60 e 90 anos, cultivadas nos pagos de La Horra e La Aguilera, com estágio de 21 meses em barricas novas de carvalho francês. Cativante nos aromas e nos sabores, mostra frutas vermelhas e negras maduras acompanhadas de notas florais, de ervas e de especiarias doces, que se confirmam no palato, com sua boa acidez e seus taninos firmes e de grãos finíssimos trazendo sustentação ao aporte de madeira e equilíbrio ao conjunto. Tem final cheio e muito longo, com toques redutivos, terrosos, de cassis, de amoras, de violetas e de alcaçuz. Segue o estilo potente da casa, porém apresenta-se mais fluido, tenso e vertical. Um ótimo exemplo de que concentração, opulência, precisão e finesse podem caminhar juntas. Paciência com ele na taça ou na garrafa, pois ainda está jovem e tem tudo para ficar ainda melhor nos próximos 20 anos. Álcool 15%."

Mid-Elevation is Drew's cuvee drawn from a handful of cool, mid-slope Mendocino sites — estate Faite de Mer alongside Clow Ridge, Valenti Ranch and Fashauer — on weathered sandstone and shale. Made with roughly 40% whole cluster and aged about ten months in neutral oak, it's bright, savory and red-fruited, an easy entry into the Drew house style.
