LEGACY Sixty-two miles (62 millas) refers to the distance between our winery in Fompedraza and the Kármán line, where the sky begins. This 100% Tinto Fino varietal, aged in French oak for nine months, originates from vineyards planted at the time of the Pago del Cielo winery’s founding. The wine displays remarkable natural freshness, imparted by the elevation of the high plateau, where the grapes attain optimal ripeness. TERROIR Weather conditions In Ribera del Duero, precipitation levels during the growth season were much lower compared to the previous year, down by almost half. This trend was reversed during the maturation period, from August to September, when it rained more than usual. Throughout most of the year, temperatures were higher than normal, and the summer saw a few heat waves. Precipitation Annual total (current vintage): 431,6 mm Temperature Annual average (current vintage): 13.4ºC
