Guímaro Finca Capeliños 2021

The elegant, floral and subtle 2021 Finca Capeliños comes from a southwest-facing centenary vineyard at 350 to 400 meters in altitude on granite and schist soils planted with some 70% Mencía and the rest a lot of local grapes. It fermented with 60% full clusters and had 30 days of maceration but with a very soft vinification, and it matured in used 225-liter French oak barrels. Somehow, the small barrels have given the wine restraint this year, with great elegance and nuance, floral, perfumed and subtle with a fragile balance in the palate, where the wine has some ethereal characteristics. Only 1,000 bottles were filled in May 2023.
