Including the 2015 Los Acilates, I had two vintages to taste of the single-vineyard red that comes from a plot that is different than therest of the estate. It's a north-facing, steep slope rich in limestoneand was planted with well-adapted Portuguese grapes—Touriga Nacional andTrincadeira Preta—in 2003. Not as hot as 2014 but still a warm and dryvintage, 2015 saw an early harvest with very healthy grapes. The grapesfermented in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts, followed bymalolactic in barrique. The wine matured in well-seasoned small500-liter French oak foudres for 12 months (they have shortened the oakaging of this wine). This is the finest vintage of this bottling I'vetried so far; it has very good balance and a mixture of red and blackberry fruit and floral undertones. The palate is medium-bodied withfine-grained tannins. Amazing for the zone and for a vintage like 2015.I really believe in these grapes here. 7'000 bottles produced.
1999 gründete die Familie Alvear die Kellerei im Südwesten Spaniens.Von Beginn an scheute sie keinen Aufwand, um im Einklang mit der Natur grossartige Terroir-Weine herzustellen, und engagierte das für Atlantik-Weine spezialisierte Berater-Team Envinante. Das Resultat sind zwei sehr gekonnt ausbalancierte Rotweine mit Charme und Eleganz..
