Reserva

A blend of Maturana, Garnacha Blanca and Viura from a range of sites with diverse soils. The free-run must, or 'mosto flor', is selected then fermented in lightly toasted new French oak casks. After resting on its lees for a few months, the wine is aged for six months in new French oak barrels, then spends 18 months in bottle before release. Fine mineral edge, salted almonds, wet stone, very poised. Crunchy pear with a pithy touch. Lingering spicy tail of white pepper, cardamom, nutmeg. My kind of wine, with a welcome austerity and intense backbone, finishing with a delicious touch of amaretto. Has a long life ahead of it.
