Finca Museum, La Renacida, Cigales, Spain 2019

This field blend is quite a mouthful, and that’s before the wine meets the lips. It comprises 35% Tempranillo, 20% Albillo Mayor, 20% Garnacha, 15% Verdejo, 5% Garnacha Blanca, 3% Bobal and 2% Mencia, all co-fermented and aged in oak foudres. The fruit comes from a small 2.9ha vineyard in the Cigales Appellation, planted in 1927. The wine itself is delicate and perfumed with cranberry and red cherry fruit, creamy spice, and a hint of wet earth. Lush, smooth finish.
