A clarete produced with Bobal and Albilla grapes, the 2021 Las Cañadas also contains some 15% Moravia Agria from a vineyard they purchased that adds some floral and herbal notes to the wine. But it's a wine that can also age, a traditional style in the zone, with 12.5% alcohol (moderate) and very good freshness (pH 3.12) and acidity (6.4 grams). It fermented with indigenous yeasts in 600-liter oak barrels, where it matured for six months. The profile changes with the addition of the Moravia Agria: it's more floral, keeping the profile of the traditional clarete wines. It has some herbal notes and a mellower palate and mouthfeel than in previous vintages despite having less alcohol, but it's more vinous, perhaps the backbone of the Moravia Agria. Different from previous years. 15,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.
