Selvanevada 2022

Fruity nose but not yet a fruit bomb. I like the purity and the fleshy cherry core, with notes of blueberries, dark plums and dried hibiscus. Fresh and nicely chewy with a fleshy core of mid-palate fruit. Flavorful, medium-length finish with loads of fruit. Drink now.

Tasted from a tank just before bottling, so treated as a final sample, Selvanevada is a deeply coloured assemblage of Tempranillo with 13% Graciano and 3% each of Mazuelo and Garnacha. Sappy, fresh and stony, it has some chalky minerality, supple tannins and layers of plum, bramble and wild strawberry flavours. 2024-29
