Miguel Merino Viñas Jóvenes 2017

hey planted some vines in 2001 for the future, but for now, they produced the 2017 Viñas Jóvenes (young vines in Spanish) with 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano, fermenting it with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and maturing it in well-seasoned, neutral barrels for 12 months. The wine is juicy, very drinkable but serious, with fantastic balance and very clean aromas and flavors. It's quite fruit driven but has the complexity of a more serious wine produced with attention to detail. It already has Rioja character. 11,244 bottles and 378 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2019.
