Silice Viticultores, Finca Rosende Tinto 2019

Produktbeskrivelse

“Harvested one month after the Lobeiras, the 2019 Silice Finca Rosende is from the producer’s oldest lieu-dit, high-elevation vineyard planted to Alicante Bouschet with white grapes interplanted. It’s 100% whole cluster fermented and aged 16 months in French oak after barrel fermentation. There’s a purity of granite amidst the ethereal layers of light-bodied, demure red and black berry fruit, good, sharp acidity, and pine sap that goes on for days.” 97p. Jeb Dunnuck

“A single-vineyard wine from Finca Rosende, next to the River Cabe near the village of Sober. It is a cooler area. Here, Garnacha Tintorera was a traditional grape. Before 2015, this plot was abandoned, and they recovered it. Clayey-sandy soils. Around 350 vines more than 100 years old to produce 400 kg. Winery located in the village of Sober. Alcoholic fermentation using whole bunches. Aged for 15 months in used oak barrels. 300 bottles.
Floral, subtle and delicate. It reminds me, in a way, of a Chambolle-Musigny. With beautiful fresh red fruit and nothing jarring on the edges of the palate. It is all fluidity, depth and finesse. It has that pleasantly herbaceous silica-like quality and an enviable depth. One of the most delicate wines from Galicia. 18/20, Jancis Robinson

Silices indgangscuvée er denne elegante, forfinede røde Ribera Sacra, der er et skolebogseksempel på hvordan vinene herfra bør være. Her er på én gang intensitet og lethed, tilsat Mencía druens svagt urtede tone. Her er det kun områdets granit og skifer holdige undergrund der taler, gennem druerne, uden brug af egetræsfade. Der anvendes kun store neutrale foudres og cementtanke til lagring af vinen.
