Tomás Postigo 3er Año Tinto 1,5 ltr '18

This unique blend of 4 different grape varieties comes out of 56 different wines, all produced with different characteristics, depending on the vineyard, varietal and oak. This wine became the final blend of all of them and is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. The 12 months of oak aging gives the wine a different layer of structure and fruit, well balanced and intertwined. 2018 was a an extraordinary year for Ribera del Duero. The spring was the wettest and rainiest in Spain since 1965, however, free of frost and with moderate temperatures. Bud break was spectacular in quantity as well as the final production. After fairly moderate temperatures in May and June, a slow ripening season was expected, but towards the end of July and into August seasonal temperatures and some heat waves advanced the ripening to the normal path. Despite spring humidity as well as some summer storms, cluster health was not affected. September was a miracle, it was the warmest since 1965 in Spain, with spectacular day-night temperature changes, giving the grapes a unique level of complexity.
