Cantalapiedra, Majuelo El Espejo 2022

Produktbeskrivelse

Vinen byder på en enorm rigdom og kompleksitet. Koncentrationen fra de ældgamle stokke er enorm, og giver vinen en tyngde og intensitet der, tør vi godt påstå, ikke findes på samme niveau i hele regionen. Forrygende topvin, der burde koste langt mere – ganske få flasker per årgang.

“A new Verdejo from a north-facing plot planted in 2001 on clay and limestone soils covered with stones, the 2020 El Espejo is from a challenging year with 30% lower yields because of the wet and warm season. It fermented in used French oak barrels, went through full malolactic and matured with the lees but no bâtonnage in 500- and 600-liter barrels for 11 months and a further eight months in stainless steel. It has 13.9% alcohol, a pH of 3.25 and close to six grams of acidity. This is from a plot with stones and clay that behaves well in warm years, and the wine feels a little more exuberant and faintly tropical. This is the first year they produced it separately, and there’s good balance. I’m looking forward to future years of this plot” 93p. Robert Parker.com
