Los Peros Garnacha 2018

Like the white, there is also a red 2018 Los Peros Garnacha (sold as Andrinal in 2017) from a plot of 80-year-old vines in the place known as Los Peros in the zone of Andrinoso in the village of San Martin de Valdeiglesias. It had a slow fermentation and maceration of two months followed by a year in well-seasoned 500-liter oak barrels. There is a lot more finesse here than in the 2017, and this has an herbal/minty twist, like green aromatic herbs, wild flowers and berries. The palate has depth and is layered, with fine tannins and a texture that somewhat makes me think of the wines from slate soils in Gredos, even if this is not the case here. 2,000 bottles were filled in January 2020.
