Salmanazars5
Production Details A new production facility was first used during fermentation for more precise extraction work. The producer says it increased the 'new barrel effect (5%)' while continuing to reduce toast, without establishing that 5% was the total new-oak share. Vineyard surface was 108 ha in San Román de Hornija and Pedrosa del Rey, planted at 1,000 vines/ha.
Tasting Notes Vertical, very fruity, intricate and silky-textured

Salmanazars5
Production Details The short, uninterrupted harvest was followed by gentler extraction with few pump-overs. The producer reduced the new American-oak-barrel percentage by 5%, favored lighter toast and reduced the proportion of malolactic fermentation performed in barrel by 10%; these are changes from prior practice, not absolute percentages. Vineyard surface was 108 ha at 1,000 vines/ha.
Tasting Notes Juicy, sweetly balanced, harmonious and silky
