Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

The 2018 Pintia comes from a cooler, wetter vintage, with grape harvest taking place between September 20th and October 7th. This vintage was vinified in Vega Sicilia’s new fermentation facility, allowing for greater precision in winemaking. Despite the cooler conditions, the wine maintains a robust 15% ABV, with a pH of 3.82 and 4.6 grams of acidity, delivering a well-balanced structure.

For this release, Pintia underwent a shorter élevage, spending 10 months in French oak and 18% in American oak barrels, with 81% of the barrels being new. The result is an expressive, aromatic nose, bursting with bright cherry fruit and elegant floral notes. Compared to typical wines from the Toro region, this vintage offers remarkable freshness and balance, with seamlessly integrated oak and alcohol.

On the palate, it presents a medium-bodied profile, defined by fine, polished tannins and a refined elegance rarely seen in the region. Many consider 2018 one of the finest vintages of Pintia to date.

A total of 251,512 bottles were produced, along with 14,144 half-bottles, 6,543 magnums, and select larger formats. The wine was bottled in April 2020.
