Ignios Orígenes Listán Negro Vendimia Seleccionada 2014

"The 2014 Ignios Orígenes Listán Negro Vendimia Seleccionada is produced with a grape that, according to Pére,z can produce very drinkable wines as long as you keep yields under control (below the 5,000 kilo per hectare mark). 2014 was quite rainy during the growing season and the harvest saw good weather without excess heat. It's a mixture of grapes from older and younger vineyards in the same zone, Buenavista Norte, at some 380 meters altitude on clay-rich soils. Twenty percent full clusters were used for the maceration and fermentation, which lasted some 19 days. Once fermentation is over, the wine is pressed and transferred to two new 500-liter and third-use 600-liter oak barrels, where it stayed for one year, during which time it went through malolactic fermentation. Open and aromatic, the wine combines notes of flowers, wild berries and a stony finish, almost smoky and definitively volcanic. The palate is quite austere and vertical, with very good acidity. It's very tasty, fresh a wine that makes you long for the next sip. 2,850 bottles were filled unfiltered after a very light fining".
