Malpaso 2021

The 2021 Malpaso Syrah was produced with grapes from 22- and 25-year-old trellised vines on sandy soils in Méntrida. It fermented in open-top 1,500- and 5,000-liter oak vats with stems and foot treading, and it matured in 500-, 600- and 2,000-liter French oak barrels for one year. It has an intense nose of olives, balsam, aromatic herbs, bacon fat and a smoky twist. It's medium to full-bodied with a juicy texture and fine-grained tannins. It shows the freshness of the year, following the path of the 2018. 21,750 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2022.
