Artadi Quintanilla 2023 En Primeur

There is more finesse in the 2023 Quintanilla and not only in the mouthfeel, which is general in the vintage, but also in the color, a brighter ruby, and the aromas, which in 2023 tend toward ripeness and darker fruit. But the vines here possibly show the effect of the earlier harvest more, as they avoid the stress that they usually go through because of the shallow soils, with the roots very much in the limestone. There should be some 4,000 bottles of this, from a 3,000-liter stainless steel tank where it's waiting to be bottled in May/June 2025. (Luis Guitérrez)
