Valdelabarga 2021
Description
Ce merveilleux coupage aragonais est issu d'une parcelle privilégiée d'un peu plus d'un hectare où cohabitent de vieilles vignes de Grenache, Provechón (Bobal) et Macabeo. Dans le domaine, le Master of Wine Norrel Robertson gère avec précision la fermentation et le bref vieillissement dans des fûts Stockinger de 500 litres, spécialement conçus pour apporter de la structure et maximiser le caractère primaire des raisins. Très expressif, pur, intense et captivant.

L'avis des experts
A muscular and structured wine with great energy from a single vineyard site of canto
rodado, the result of glacial deposits in Armantes. This is a field blend of 85% Garnacha with
15% Moristel, Provechón (Bobal) and some white varieties. There’s a little whole bunch, 10% -
15%, adding some freshness and keeping the intense blackberry and blueberry fruit in check.
12 months in Stockinger softens the wine somewhat which also benefits from the cooler 2021
vintage. An exciting and complex wine, approachable now but should age well. 2023 - 2030
The second vintage of this single-vineyard wine, the 2021 Valdelabarga Parcela Venta del Bravo was produced with the field blend of 85% to 90% Garnacha and the rest Bobal, Moristel, a little white Macabeo, etc., from a 1.2-hectare plot on very stony soils in the village of Torralba de Ribota that was possibly planted some 80 years ago (the register is from 1941). It fermented in open stainless steel tanks and matured in 500-liter Stockinger barrels that lend very little torrefaction to the wines. In 2021, there might have been more white grapes, and the wine has a paler color and feels fresher than the initial 2020 I tasted last time. It is still medium to full-bodied, with lower alcohol (14.2%) and fine tannins, and it is much more elegant, with more finesse and better freshness and acidity, or at least the sensation. 2,600 bottles were filled in April 2021.
