The big 2021 El Titan del Bendito showcases the ripe and powerful style of the zone and the winery coupled with good freshness from a very complete and balanced year. It's taken from different plots of old vines, some of them centenary, fermented in stainless steel and concrete vats and matured in French oak barrels for 20 to 22 months. It's not a shy wine (the house style is definitely big); it is full-bodied and ripe but carefully extracted and with generous spice from the long élevage. It has 16.5% alcohol, which (as usual) goes unnoticed. 9,913 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023.
