La Maldita Garnacha Tinta 2019

La Maldita is no longer part of a range from Vivanco; it's a separate project that keeps growing, and the entry-level red is the 2019 Garnacha, an unoaked, young, primary and fruit-driven juicy wine from a vintage that seems very good for this style of easy and immediate wines. It's direct, sincere, without complexes and, in this case, with a very pure varietal expression of flowers and red fruit, ripe enough with freshness and acidity and a fine thread in the palate. It's dry, long and easy to drink. Only a fraction of the wine matured in oak barrel for a couple of months. That is a plus in this vintage. 245,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020.
