Manga del Brujo 2015

Like many 2015s, the 2015 Manga del Brujo, a blend of 75% old vine Garnacha with 15% Syrah, 10% Tempranillo and 5% Mazuelo, reached close to 15% alcohol. It fermented in concrete vats where it matured for 20 months. Here, Robertson looks for a more savory style with firmer tannins through the Tempranillo and the use of extended maceration and extra skins (doble pasta) of Garnacha and Syrah. It shows the ripe and juicy style of the vintage with a round palate and some earthy tannins, a little meatier perhaps from the Tempranillo. One for the table. There were 100,000 bottles produced and it was bottled in September of 2018.
