This wine is from a small parcel in our vineyard Paraje Altamira, which has an alluvial soil with limestone-covered rocks from the surface down.
In their search for the purest expression of the identity of the Finca Piedra Infinita vineyard, they arrived at this small plot of 0.78 hectares. Located on the west side, it shows the most extreme side of the soils of Paraje Altamira, where from the surface the only thing we find is the stone, covered with a rich layer of calcareous material.
VINEYARDS: Alluvial soil with big rocks covered with a large amount of calcium bicarbonate on the topsoil.
VINTAGE: Frost was an issue affecting quantity in 2017, but the grapes that survived produced excellent quality wines.
WINEMAKING: The grapes were selected Hand, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation in concrete vats without epoxy, with native yeasts. 50% of the wine was aged in 500lts used oak barrels.
The 2017 Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal comes from a plot of 0.54 hectares in the Finca Piedra Infinita vineyard where the soils are very shallow, and there are rocks from the surface all the way down and the limestone content is very high.
With that soil condition, they have to harvest the grapes very early, especially in the warmer years. This is austere and not as complete or complex as the 2018 but powerful and mineral. It finished very dry. 1,600 bottles were filled in August 2018.
