Monopole 2024

CVNE (hentet 17. okt. 2026): Monopole 2024 – teknisk ark (producentens tekst, engelsk): The vineyard The grapes come from our own vineyards in Rioja Alta, and from our local usual providers. The main variety is viura, and the vines are bush trained, with soils of cool clay loam. All viticulture labour is carried out manually, including harvest. Winemaking This wine is made from 100% viura grapes. Once the grapes arrive to the winery, a cold maceration with the grape skin is carried out for 8 hours at controlled temperature of 10-12 ℃. Gentle pressing encouraged the release of the free run juice which then fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature. This facilitates the extraction and conservation of the key primary fruit and floral aromas, typical of the variety. Vintage / Harvest description The 2024 growing season began with a warm March, advancing budbreak by approximately 10 days. Cooler temperatures and rainfall in April and May followed, causing a vegetative pause and delaying veraison by 10 to 15 days, depending on the area. The harvest was notably short due to low bud fertility, further compounded by irregular fruit set driven by cold temperatures, limited sunlight, and rain during flowering. Consequently, the 2024 harvest is one of the smallest in recent years, surpassed only by that of 2017. Despite the challenging weather conditions, vine health remained robust throughout the season. Anticipated instability accelerated the harvest, and although yields were low, the resulting grapes were of excellent quality. Harvesting of the white grapes began on September 18 and concluded on October 6.
