Description

Monocépage de Grenache au profil inédit, El Molar se démarque nettement de ses pairs : particulièrement agréable, il se distingue par sa fraîcheur et sa fluidité. 2014 a été une des années les plus sèches des derniers 50 ans dans l’appellation Jumilla. Les vendanges ont été prématurées et la récolte particulièrement faible, ce qui a incité le domaine à recourir à une macération semi-carbonique, avec 1/3 de raisin non éraflé, pour élaborer El Molar.

The Wine Advocate:

"A new kid on the block, the pure Garnacha 2013 El Molar carries the name of the vineyards where the vines were planted in 2006 on sand and chalk soils covered with gravel. It was foot trodden and fermented in cement vats and aged for nine months in used 500-liter oak barrels. In 2013 the vines worked until the very end as it was a year where there was more rain than average and a relatively cool summer (sometimes ripening occurs because of dehydration rather than true ripening) resulting in a perfect ripeness but quite contained. It is light ruby color, very bright acidity (low pH?) and there’s no indication of alcohol plus the oak is also perfectly integrated. It shows a pinch of spices over the core of red berries along with some spring flowers and perhaps a distant lactic touch. The supple and tasty palate is medium-bodied and has a fluid texture, very fine tannins and good acidity. The well-defined flavors are clean and offer floral notes plus developing notes of orange peel. I think this is the best Molar so far. A real bargain. 28,000 bottles".
