2024 Flor de Pingus

There was a big frost in 2024, and they could save 50% of their own vineyards with burners; so there were like two different harvests for the 2024 Flor de Pingus. The part that was frosted was riper and ripened faster, so they had to pick those grapes early to avoid too much alcohol because high alcohol interferes too much. They were very precise, and all the lots had 10% new barrels instead of having one lot all in new barrels. There are different lots, and he did a hypothetical blend of what the wine might be, including the press wine. The wine is very primary, clean, expressive and precise. It has a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins with some grip and a chalky feeling. There will be some 78,000 bottles, a lot less than in previous years, all because of the frost.
