The Propiedad bottling isn't made every year, and the 2021 Propiedad, mostly Garnacha (with 10% other grapes) from organically farmed old vines pruned in the parajes of Las Mulgas, Cabecilla de la Ra and Valmira, fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts. It has the signature of this cuvée in a cooler year: elegant and fresh, but not lacking power or concentration. It has a velvety, precise, even palate, with great freshness and balance, flavours of red fruit and crushed stone and a citrus touch of freshness. There's much more depth and complexity compared with the already exceptional La Montesa. It's fine and elegant, with very fine tannins and a precise, clean finish. It's also powerful and ripe at 14.5% alcohol, keeping a pH of 3.5 and 5.3 grams of acidity. 46,400 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023 after 10 months in oak vats and barrels of different sizes.
