Description

Malpaso est un monocépage de Syrah particulier, qui exprime comme personne le potentiel de ce cépage parfaitement adapté aux conditions rigoureuses de la région de Méntrida. Très frais, il se distingue par son extraction équilibrée, son élégance et sa belle longueur en bouche. Selon Luis Gutiérrez, le dégustateur de Parker pour l'Espagne, la récolte 2014 « a fourni un des meilleurs Syrah de la zone et de l'Espagne tout entière ».

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"From the wines that are not from the Gredos part, the 2015 Malpaso is pure Syrah from 19- to 21-year-old vines on sandy soils. It fermented with full clusters in open 1,500- and 5,000-liter vats. Once it fermented, the wine matured in 500- and 600-liter French oak barrels and 2,000-liter oak vats for about one year. It's super balsamic, with tons of aromatic herbs, smoky with plenty of black olives. The palate is full-bodied, powerful and concentrated but with fine tannins, very tasty. 2015 is a warm and ripe vintage, but the wine keeps the freshness, which is a characteristic of their wines. The oak is always perfectly integrated. 17,200 bottles were filled in October 2016".
