Tasting notes
The vines used for the 2018 Pago La Jara from Toro enjoyed abundant rains in winter and spring, which allowed them to recover from the 2017 frost and achieve normal yields again. The summer was dry and allowed a good ripening and resulted in tannins of good quality. It fermented in 3,000-kilo oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in a French oak barrel and a 1,500-liter oak foudre for 18 months. It has perfume and finesse like no wines from Toro, but it still has the power and concentration from the zone, meaty and juicy. It's a very balanced vintage for this wine, with harmony and potential to develop nicely in bottle. 2,069 bottles were filled between May and June 2020.
