Telescópico Cariñena 2015

The one red produced with Cariñena that I tasted, the 2015 Telescópico Cariñena had a surprisingly low pH and remarkable acidity, which provided lots of freshness. It was produced with grapes from a 20-year-old vineyard in Épila, fermented in an open vat where it was kept for five months before being put into 500-liter oak barrels where it stayed for some 6-8 months. This is their first vintage and it's a superb debut, showing the character of the place, with that elegant rusticity the best Cariñena offers. It has concentration, elegance and freshness. A superb example of Cariñena. 4,000 bottles were filled in April 2017.
