Vintage features
El 2020 ha sido un año con una alta presión por el hongo Plasmopara vitícola, comúnmente conocido como Mildiu. Fue en regiones como Galicia o Cataluña donde más daños ocasionó en las primeras semanas de la primavera. Está alerta nos hizo vigilar de cerca cada parcela para salir airosos en esta primera añada certificada en viticultura ecológica. En nuestro caso podemos decir que fue nuevamente el Monte Teleno quien, en su rol de aliado y protector de nuestros viñedos, desvió los frentes lluviosos procedentes del noroeste evitando que nuestros viñedos se contaminaran de Mildiu. La primavera y el verano en el Valle del Jamuz se desarrollaron con unas temperaturas suaves al principio y más cálidas en semanas posteriores, sobre todo en el cuajado y envero. Fue en el mes de septiembre, cuando las temperaturas nuevamente se suavizaron, lo que originó una madurez de los racimos lenta pero sin pausa y sin paradas vegetativas por estrés hídrico; por ello conseguimos alcanzar el equilibrio entre la madurez fenólica y la síntesis de azúcares.
Vineyard
Mataperezosa se obtiene de nuestros viñedos viejos situados en el páramo norte del Valle del Jamuz. Son suelos muy pobres, fundamentalmente limosos-arenosos, acompañados de conglomerados de cuarcitas y fragmentos de cuarzo y pizarra. Es la zona de mayor contraste térmico debido a la exposición a las frías corrientes de aire del Monte Teleno y la alta insolación. La edad media de los viñedos es de 90 años. Las vides de variedades blancas se encuentran plantadas entre las tintas. Seleccionamos planta por planta la uva de Doña Blanca, Palomino y Godello.
Winemaking
Harvest by hand in 15 kg boxes. Manual selection in the vineyard. Whole bunches are pressed and vatted to settle in the night-time cold. Once the must is clean, it ferments in French oak barrels where it remains for up to 12 months on its lees, with periodic batonnage.
Tasting notes
Centelleante color dorado. Aroma de fruta blanca, cítricos y anís. Untuoso y largo en boca con recuerdos a jazmín y frutos secos. Salino y de gran complejidad en boca.

Vintage features
La añada 2019 se caracterizó por un final del invierno lluvioso lo que permitió comenzar una primavera verde y con una recarga de reservas hídricas del subsuelo. El inicio de la primavera fue fresco y con pocos episodios lluviosos, lo que nos permitió reducir al máximo el número de tratamientos en ecológico, y mantener un estado sanitario óptimo hasta la cosecha. Posteriormente, las temperaturas fueron ascendiendo gradualmente hasta niveles normales, con algún día de fuerte calor a finales de junio, que no duró más de una semana, por lo que no afectó al final de la floración. Durante los meses de agosto y septiembre, los días avanzaban con temperaturas suaves, con noches frescas y grandes saltos térmicos, siendo muy beneficioso para la madurez de la uva. En estos últimos meses además no tuvimos precipitaciones, con un final de maduración seco y con racimos sanos, de hollejo grueso y muy aromáticos.
Vineyard
Las Jaras is our Vino de Pueblo, a blend of selected plots along the Jamuz Valley. Its name is due to the flower that dominates the landscape, La Jara. It has a different profile from the rest, more greedy, for the location of their vineyards, south of the valley, at lower altitude, with more clayey soils and higher percentage of Prieto Picudo. These plots are the most accessible and closest to the villages, which is why they were kept in better condition over the years and the "faltas" were planted with Prieto Picudo instead of the Mencía, which was more typical of the valley. The average age of the vineyard is around 70 years, since, although the last plantations date back to 1970, there is still a very high percentage of very old vines
Winemaking
Hand-picked in 15 kg boxes and hand-selected in the vineyard. The boxes are poured into truncated cone shaped wooden vats made of French oak and the grapes are crushed by adding very little sulphur to allow spontaneous fermentation using the native yeasts. It macerates for 35 days and carries out the malolactic fermentation in oak vats and concrete tanks, where it rests for nine months.
Tasting notes
Deep ruby red colour and brilliant appearance. Intense and complex nose, with delicate aroma of black fruits, balsamic notes and memories of rockrose and scrubland. Sweet and greedy at first, it is pleasant and deep in the mouth. Its freshness and acidity stand out, as well as the pleasant synergy between spicy notes, cocoa and wild fruits.

En estos últimos meses, además tuvimos algún día lluvioso, que ayudó en el final de madurez y no tuvo impacto sanitario debido a los días secos y noches muy frías de mediados de septiembre.

Es la zona de mayor contraste térmico debido a la altitud y la exposición a las frías corrientes de aire del Monte Teleno y la alta insolación, lo que nos proporciona vinos de perfil aromático floral ygran concentración.
Winemaking
Vendimia a mano en cajas de 15 Kg. Selección manual en el viñedo. Encubado caja a caja con un 30 % de racimos enteros, en tinas troncocónicas de madera de roble francés ajustando el contenido de sulfuroso a dosis mínimas, para poder fermentar con levadura autóctona. El tiempo de maceración es de 30 días. Después de la fermentación alcohólica se realiza un prensado suave tras el cual, el vino se trasiega a barricas de 500 L dónde realizará la fermentación maloláctica y una crianza de 14 meses.
Tasting notes
Very expressive and bright cherry red cherry colour. Intense red fruit aromas predominate, along with elegant and subtle toasted and balsamic notes, cut grass and juniper. The palate is delicate, with just the right amount of tannic concentration and freshness, with an unctuous passage and a slightly saline mineral background. The use of a low percentage of new oak allows for a balanced blend of fruity sensation with smoky and spicy flavours and a long, lingering finish.

La Gándara 2018

Location
Herreros de Jamuz. León. IGP Tierra de Castilla y León.
Strains
Mencía, Alicante Bouschet y Palomino.
Viticulture
Recovery of centuries-old strains. In the process of certification of organic vineyard.
Vintage features
The 2018 vintage was characterized by a rainy end to the winter, which allowed us to start a green spring with a recharge of water reserves in the subsoil. The beginning of spring was cool and with few rainy spells, which allowed us to reduce the number of organic treatments to a minimum and maintain an optimal sanitary state until harvest. Subsequently, temperatures gradually rose to normal levels, with a few days of strong heat at the end of June, which did not last more than a week, so it did not affect the end of flowering. During the months of August and September, the days progressed with mild temperatures, with cool nights and large thermal jumps, being very beneficial for the ripening of the grapes. In these last months we also had no rainfall, with a dry end of ripening and healthy bunches, with thick skins and very aromatic.
Vineyard
La Gándara is the historic plot of Herreros de Jamuz. It is located on a small hill on the banks of the river. At its highest point, 830 metres above sea level, there is a plain of about 1.3 hectares of very old vines surrounded by a holm oak forest. The vineyard, with vines between 70 and 100 years old, mainly Mencía, is situated on red clay with a high iron oxide content.
Winemaking
Harvest by hand in 15 kg crates. Manual selection in the vineyard. Box by box vatting of the grapes without destemming, blending the Mencía, Alicante Bouschet and Palomino varieties in 500L open barrels of French and Austrian oak with minimum doses of sulphur to ferment with indigenous yeast. Maceration for 60 days and soft pressing. Aged for 14 months in 500L French and Austrian oak barrels.
Tasting notes
La Gándara is the darling of Fuentes del Silencio; the special characteristics and small production we obtain from this vineyard allow us to take our winemaking philosophy of experimentation and non-intervention to its highest expression. La Gándara is a wine that faithfully reflects its environment. On the nose, the aromas of wild flowers, rockroses and scrubland stand out, accompanied by exuberant red fruits. On the palate, it is fresh, balsamic and delicate. Long and persistent, it evokes the landscape from which it comes.

Vintage features
Podríamos decir que uno de los momentos más importantes a destacar de esta añada ha sido el periodo estival y sus suaves temperaturas, permitiendo una maduración del racimo lenta y sin contratiempos. Sin embargo, durante las dos últimas semanas previas a la vendimia, hemos tenido algún episodio tormentoso con precipitaciones, obligándonos a prestar especial atención en el control de las posibles enfermedades y poder cosechar una uva sana, madura y que, cuando degustemos la uva, esté como nos gusta decir, crocante. Hay que tener en cuenta que, prácticamente la totalidad de nuestros viñedos tienen un porte rastrero, que ha sido el sistema de formación tradicional de la zona durante los últimos tres siglos. Este sistema, tiene una gran adaptación a nuestro clima. Sin embargo, en determinadas añadas, fundamentalmente aquellas en las que existen episodios lluviosos alternados con temperaturas muy agradables en las últimas semanas, puede existir un mayor riesgo de desarrollo de hongos, como es el caso de Botrytis cinerea. Otra cuestión clave en nuestros viñedos, es la mezcla de variedades plantadas que existe en cada una de nuestras parcelas. En esta añada en concreto, decidimos optar en vendimiar por sectores, cosechando aquellas parcelas y variedades más adelantadas y que podrían tener un mayor riesgo de ataque por hongo. Durante los primeros encubados de la añada, nos llevamos la grata sorpresa con que los parámetros de madurez que obteníamos de los mostos en depósito, eran superiores a los que obteníamos en los controles de madurez en campo. A veces el muestreo, conlleva en ocasiones una incertidumbre que nos puede sorprender muy positivamente en bodega.
Vineyard
Las Jaras is our Vino de Pueblo, named after the flower that dominates the landscape and comes from several plots located along the valley. It has a different profile, more gourmand, due to the fact that its vineyards are located in the south of the valley at a lower altitude, the soils are more clayey and with a higher percentage of Prieto Picudo. These plots are the most accessible and closest to the villages, which is why they were kept in better conditions and over the years, the "faltas" were planted with Prieto Picudo instead of the valley's more typical Mencia. The average age of the vineyard is around 70 years, there is still a very high percentage of very old vines and the last plantations were around 1970.
Winemaking
Harvested by hand in 15 kg crates and hand-selected in the vineyard. Pressing of the whole bunches after a brief maceration and vatting for decanting in the cold at night. Once the must is clean, it is fermented in a French oak barrel where it will remain for up to 6 months with its lees, with periodic battonage.
Tasting notes
Brillante y suave color piel de cebolla. Nariz con sutiles aromas a melocotón y cítricos. De entrada, dulce y golosa, en boca es fresco, y equilibrado. Final agradable con recuerdos a frambuesa y pastelería propios de la fermentación. Post-gusto ligeramente salino.

Strains

Viticulture
Recovery of centuries-old and pre-phylloxera strains. In the process of certification of organic vineyard.
Vintage features
The 2016 vintage was characterized by a winter end and an early spring, with abundant rainfall, restoring the soil water reserves. The end of spring, summer and early autumn stood out for the absence of precipitation and high temperatures. However, the good water reserves of the soil made it possible for the plant to have enough water to be able to carry out a correct flowering, a good enveration and decosting of shoots and finally a rapid and smooth maturation. Episodes of heat and no rainfall during the summer contributed to the old vines producing smaller and higher concentration clusters.
Vineyard
La Gándara is the historic plot of Herreros de Jamuz. It is a small hill on the banks of the river. At its highest level of 830 meters of altitude there is a plain of about 2 hectares of very old vineyards surrounded by a forest of holm oaks. The vineyard on reddish sand is mainly Mencía between 100 and 70 years old.
Winemaking
Harvest by hand in boxes of 15 Kg. Manual selection in the vineyard. Incubated box to box of the grapes without destemming mixing the varieties Mencía, Alicante Bouschet and Palomino in a tub of French oak wood conical with minimum doses of sulphur to ferment with native yeast. 60-day maceration and gentle pressing. Aged for 12 months in high volume French oak barrels.
Tasting notes
The Guidal is the pampered girl from Fountains of Silence; the special characteristics and small production that we obtain from this vineyard allow us to bring our philosophy of winemaking of experimentation and not intervention to its greatest expression. La Gándara is a wine that faithfully reflects its surroundings. Aromatically we find wild flowers and red fruits, in the mouth it is fresh, balsamic and delicate.

Viticulture

Vintage features
The 2018 vintage was characterized by a rainy end to the winter, which allowed a green spring to begin, with a recharge of underground water reserves. The beginning of spring was fresh and with few rainy episodes, which allowed us to reduce the number of treatments in organic, and maintain an optimal health status until harvest. Later, temperatures gradually rose to normal levels, with some days of strong heat at the end of June, which did not last more than a week, so it did not affect the end of flowering. During the months of August and September, the days advanced with mild temperatures, with cool nights and great thermal jumps, being very beneficial for the ripeness of the grape. In these last months we also had no rainfall, with a dry end of ripening and healthy clusters, thick skin and very aromatic.
Vineyard
Las Quintas comes from our vineyards located in the northern moorland of the Jamuz Valley. The soils are very poor, mainly loamy-sandy. It is the area of greatest thermal contrast due to the altitude and exposure to the cold air currents of Mount Teleno and high sunshine, which gives us wines with a fruity aromatic profile and light tannins.
Winemaking
Harvest by hand in boxes of 15 Kg. Manual selection in the vineyard. Vatting box by box with 75% of whole bunches, in truncated cone-shaped French oak vats, adjusting the sulphur content to minimum doses in order to ferment with indigenous yeast. The maceration time is 40 days and after the alcoholic fermentation a soft pressing is carried out after which the wine is racked into 500 L barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 14 months.
