Mestizaje 2016 Magnum

The red 2016 Mestizaje is a blend of Bobal with 18% Syrah and 14% Garnacha fermented separately and with some full clusters with indigenous yeasts. It matured in French oak barrels and vats for ten months. There is a little less wine, as they definitively removed Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from the blend. That, plus a fresher year, contributed to a fresher wine—juicy and tasty—with a mixture of red and black fruit and a chalky sensation in the palate. It finishes long and tasty. Very good quality for the price asked. 94,100 bottles were filled in August 2017.
