El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa 2015

"Always a favorite of mine, the 2015 Vega Sindoa El Chaparral Old Vines Garnacha is a herbal, spicy and balsamic expression of the grape. It's produced with fruit from old vines and it's ripe without excess, quite round and sleek in this dry and warm year, and nicely integrated oak from its five to six months in barrique. 30,000 bottles produced".

The 2017 El Chaparral De Vega Sindoa comes from very old Grenache vines (ungrafted and some pre-phylloxera) and was brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Ripe cherries, orange blossom, underbrush, and white pepper notes all flow to a beautifully elegant, complex Garnacha that has good acidity, plenty of fruit, and a clean finish. Drink it over the coming 3-4 years.
