Bernabeleva, Carril del Rey 2022

Produktbeskrivelse

Carril del Rey stammer fra et enkelt smalt, sydvendt, granitholdigt plot på 4,2 ha med vinstokke på ca. 75 år. Den totale produktion af denne vin er 1500 fl. Druerne får en 24 timers kold udblødning inden man fodtræder druerne, hvilket man iøvrigt gør dagligt i de 40 dage vinen udblødes. Malolaktisk gæring foregår på franske barriques, mens lagringen på 11 mdr. sker på 500 ltr. fade. Inden flaskning stabiliseres vinen i 6 mdr. på tank. Vinen er som de andre Bernebeleva meget svagt svovlede. En intens, mineralsk og frugtsyre domineret lys Garnacha af bedste slags.

“The single-vineyard 2022 Carril del Rey, from a plot that tends to deliver pale wines in warm vintages, usually is their most classical wine. The vines were planted in the 1930s in the lower part of the estate and tend to be harvested the last but hardly ever achieve full phenolic ripeness. This has only 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.28 and 5.74 grams of acidity. It has a nose of red berries and aromatic herbs, with some Mediterranean character but with an acid-berry palate with effervescent acidity that makes it fresh despite the warmer sensation in the palate. It has a medium-bodied palate with fine-grained tannins and is balanced and harmonious.” 93+p. R. Parker
