La Garnacha de Mustiguillo 2014 (x6)

"There is a new red, the 2014 La Garnacha de Mustiguillo, a Mediterranean Garnacha planted in the 1980s on limestone soils. Fermentation was in a 8,000-liter oak vat with indigenous yeasts and some 20-30% of the stems. The wine matured in French barriques for ten months. The nose is subtle and fresh (it's only 13.5% alcohol), with contained ripeness (I sampled the unbottled 2015 and it felt riper) and some floral aromas. The palate has fine-grained tannins with that characteristic chalky texture provided by the limestone-rich soils, with a nice, focused finish that has some nerve and good acidity. 12,400 bottles produced".
