The latest great wine from Victoria Ordóñez and her son Guillermo, who, since 2016 have never ceased surprising us with the quality of their Malagas - at least, in still wine.
This new addition in their red wine range (the other being the Camaroles cuvée) is an exceptional wine - only 2,655 bottles.
Vinification
Harvest by hand mid-September in small 9-kg crates. At the cellar, the grapes are first cool-macerated then fermented in stainless steel tanks.
The malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels. Then the wine is aged for 20 months, 10 of which in bottle.

Trial analysis
Bright ruby colour. On the nose, floral notes (violets) and intense black fruit, typical of a young wine. One also perceives balsamic, menthol and roast coffee notes, some nice spices too, very fresh.
On the palate, a nicely crisp acidity, with juicy tannins clothed in red and black fruit. A medium bodied wine but with a long finish.
Already very enjoyable, but will keep for some years.
