The vineyard
The vineyard of the Spanish estate Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos covers 130 hectares and is distinguished by a mosaic of more than 200 plots spread across 9 different municipalities. Each plot, with its varying altitudes and unique microclimates, requires special attention to determine the optimal harvest date. Rigorous care is given to this vineyard, which is farmed without herbicides or pesticides, with vines aged 40 to 100 years.
The wine
Aalto PS is a wine from Ribera del Duero, crafted from a rigorous selection of very old vines, 60 to 90 years old, located in the vineyards of La Horra and La Aguilera.
The vintage
After a moderately cold start to winter, the season proved cold and dry until the end of March. Spring was mild and rather dry, with frosts in May followed by storms at the end of the month, sometimes continuing into June. Summer was hot, leading to an early September harvest under unstable weather, with some rain during picking.

Aged for 21 months in new French oak barrels.
Grape variety
100% Tempranillo (Tinto Fino).
