Acclaim
“The young, creamy and juicy 2019 Petra is pure Garnacha that fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts and matured in well-seasoned, neutral oak barrels for 15 months, including malolactic. There is a lactic touch and some notes of cereals here that interferes a bit with the purity of Garnacha. It's medium-bodied and has moderate ripeness at 13.5% alcohol, revealing good freshness and acidity and a pH of 3.6. 5,633 bottles were filled in July 2021.”
— Wine Advocate, Jul 2022
“Aromas of baked raspberries and strawberries with spicy and earthy touches. Medium- to full-bodied with powdery tannins and a soft texture. Firm finish.”
— James Suckling, Sep 2022

Wine Production

After a dry summer the harvest was one month later than the previous one, and also as dry as during the summer, allowing thus an excellent grape sanity. Due to the green harvesting in summer, the concentration and quality of the grapes was extraordinary, a superior quality vintage for us.
