Overview

With the 2020 vintage, La Tendida replaces Vino de Finca, but it is not just a new label. La Tendida is the parcel name that is the source for both wines, but this cuvée is a selection of younger vine fruit from a particular terruño – a sandy clay-limestone soil covered in a deep layer of gravel. Despite the younger average age of these vines and no change in the winemaking, this is a more elegant, nuanced, and refined rendition of this parcel’s best soils, making the cuvée name, La Tendida, an obvious choice.
