General Information
The vineyards of Bodegas Habla are classified into 68 different plots that receive individualized treatment. They are cultivated using organic viticulture. A total surface area of 200 hectares. Young vineyards, planted in 1999 (17 years old). Predominantly slate soil, low in fertility. Land with little moisture that withstands the strong thermal contrasts between day and night typical of the area.With Habla Nº19 2015, the Trujillo winery returns to tempranillo, a variety that previously starred solo in the celebrated Habla Nº15. This red wine, part of the winery's limited-production single-varietal collection, originates from vineyards cultivated using organic viticulture. The nearly 20-year-old vines stand out for being planted on slate soils, very poor and infertile, with little moisture and exposed to a continental climate marked by strong thermal contrasts between day and night. A unique terroir that produces wines with a distinctive and unmistakable personality, appealing to all palates.
For the production of Habla Nº19 2015, Bodegas Habla chose a night harvest to preserve the freshness of the grapes. The malolactic fermentation of the wine, along with its 12-month aging, was carried out in French oak barrels, resulting in a red wine of great aromatic complexity, a faithful expression of all the varietal qualities and the character of the terroir from which it originates. Enjoy it paired with roasted meats, game dishes, cured meats, and aged cheeses.

Tasting notes
Of an attractive and lively purplish red, dazzling and intense.
Great complexity and high aromatic expressiveness: aromas of strawberry, mineral notes (pizarra), herbal and floral (jaras), light hints of toffee and subtle leather undertones.
On the palate, it is very powerful, but at the same time, with an unexpected finesse. Long and unctuous journey. Hugely balanced and with a prolonged finish.

The winery
Habla is one of the most advanced wineries in our country, responsible for elevating the wines of Extremadura to the highest level and erasing at a stroke the dubious reputation of the wines from this region. Its modern facilities and vineyard (200 hectares divided into plots) are located on an estate in the town of Trujillo, with shallow soils composed of slate and granite, good texture, and low fertility, which, together with the continental climate, favor optimal ripening and limited yields.
Bodegas Habla has introduced various innovations in the region both in the vineyard, where it is committed to ecological practices, and in winemaking. For instance, in the vineyard, it has implemented cover crops between the cultivation rows to control erosion, prevent nutritional depletion, and avoid the environmental impact of herbicides and CO2 emissions from tractors; it also employs the shade policy: arranging vegetation on the trellises in a shaded manner, ensuring slightly cooler ripening conditions and addressing the issue of excessive warmth. Additionally, it follows very strict traceability for each of the plots.
As for winemaking, it is committed to minimal intervention, allowing the typicity of the region, the character of the grape varieties, and the complement of French oak to define the style. This way, they create wines of excellent character and typicity, easy to drink, and notable for their original aesthetics.
