From very early on, Moncerbal shone and felt to be among the finest vintages for this paraje. 2021 was an atypical year, cooler but with a warm and dry end of the season. They harvested some grapes at the end of August, and then they had to stop because the grapes wouldn't ripen! So, Pétalos has only 13.5% alcohol. Some wines have a reductive character; it was a cooler and dry year, and the wines show that character, continental and cold, despite the heat in July and August. The wines are juicy and aromatic, a lot fresher than they anticipated. The wines have contained alcohol (all around 13.5%) and a narrower profile. It should be a long-lived vintage, perhaps not as juicy as the 2018s but with very good balance and freshness. Now from bottle and with the perspective of time, the wines are evolving nicely, perhaps not reaching the heights of 2018, but with elegance and grace, slowly.

The alcohol is lower than expected, the vines got blocked, it was very warm and dry, or at least the alcohol didn't go that high, but the acidity started dropping. Yields were high, and the white grapes were very good; they used a lot of white grapes, almost to the allowed 10% to 12%, when they normally use between 6% and 8%.
