2019 Pujanza Norte

The 2019 Norte showcases the style of the year with a powerful and ripe wine with 15.11% alcohol, good acidity and plenty of tannins. This matured in French oak barrels (with some new ones, which is what he tends to do in powerful years, use more new barrels, which to me is a bit like adding gasoline to the fire), and San Pedro thinks the wine is going to need more time in bottle. This is riper and oakier than other vintages. This is more Mediterranean in style but still balanced. 11,000 bottles produced.
