Simeta comes from a single vineyard where the soils are a little different, and the aspect is south rather than the north of the other vineyards. ‘Micalet and Sensal are more sandy and chalky soils, very white,’ says Revert. ‘Simeta has iron. It is still chalky, but it has more colour. It is around 50 years old (1971 plantings) and is planted with Arco. This is a nice variety because it has a very long cycle, big berries, and it is very resistant to heat so it is good for this area. This long cycle preserves the acidity nicely.. It's quite cool climate Pinot Noir like in this vintage, maybe a touch denser than the 2019, great with some slightly fatty pink lamb for example. it's a classy wine and it will be interesting to see how it develops. Very limited stocks.
