Ferrer Bobet 2017

The eponymous 2017 Ferrer-Bobet is a blend of 65% Cariñena, 25% Garnacha, 15% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon mostly from their own vines planted between 2004 and 2005 on llicorella slate on terraces and slopes, higher in Cariñena in this warmer year. It fermented after a short cold maceration and matured in French barriques for 12 months. This is fresh and elegant, a character of Cariñena on poor soils. The wine has good ripeness but no with no excess; it has floral aromas and even an herbal touch. It's supple and spicy and has magical freshness. It has more Cariñena than ever. 17,680 bottles and 500 magnums were filled in February 2019.

Slightly reduced style with a distinctive mineral-rich character, layers of baked fruit and brilliantly judged wood. Has grace and depth.
