{"product_id":"juan-carlos-sancha-pena-el-gato-espagne","title":"Juan Carlos Sancha - Peña El Gato - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeña El Gato comes from an old family vineyard in Baños de Río Tobía, in Rioja Alta, in the heart of the Najerilla valley. The bush-trained, organically farmed vines occupy a due-south-facing slope shaped like an amphitheatre, at 650 metres above sea level. The poor, shallow soil combines clay and limestone, naturally limiting yields and concentrating the grapes. In this cool part of Rioja, under Atlantic influence, cold winters, mild summers and wide temperature swings encourage slow ripening and preserve the aromatic expression of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand into 15 kg crates, then destemmed. They go straight into 500-litre French oak barrels from Tronçais, where alcoholic fermentation and ageing take place. The wine spends 11 months in these same vessels. It does not undergo full malolactic fermentation, a choice that helps maintain its freshness and tension. Yields are very low, around 2,500 kg per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003estrawberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eraspberry\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eripe cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eblack fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by hints of \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edried flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esmoke\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003evanilla\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003etobacco\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edried herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e.
