Stepped on with the feet and smooth movements to avoid excessive extractions. Native yeasts and low levels of sulfur. Aging for 11 months in French oak barrels of 500 liters and different coopers and 5 months in stainless steel for natural stabilization.

Perhaps the reaction after the unusually ripe 2018 was to pick the grapes for the 2019 Carril del Rey quite early, as the wine is pale and delicate, floral and ethereal at only 13.25% alcohol and with a pH of 3.28, which give it a vibrant palate with very fine, grainy and textured tannins. Could this be a vineyard that behaves better in warmer years like some Albillo I've seen? 2,600 bottles were filled in May 2021 after one year in barrel and the rest of the time in stainless steel.
