Suertes del Marqués Medianías 2018

The affordable red 2018 Medianías was produced with Listán Negro from the ancient cordón trenzado vineyards Habanera, La Florida and Fortaceros, and it fermented in concrete tanks with 20% full clusters and indigenous yeasts. It was partly aged in 500-liter oak vats and 2,500-liter oak foudre for nine months, and part of the volume was kept in concrete. This is a little rounder and has more black fruit with a balsamic and creamy touch that gives it a slightly more commercial profile. It has fine tannins and a slight bitterness in the finish. 4,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2019.
