Paraje Mina 2018

The nose of the 2018 Paraje Mina was spectacular after one and a half hours in the glass, because it's a wine that needs time and benefits from being opened in advance, even decanted. This is also salty, marine, mineral and long, but the nose has a more floral and elegant twist, with lots of finesse. It's hard to choose between these bottlings, because they all have a similar (high) quality level, and it's a matter of taste, which profile you like more. And in 2018, I like this A LOT. This wine was rejected from the appellation of origin Rías Baixas in 2015 and has been sold without appellation ever since. It has a sharp profile, moderate alcohol and high acidity, with a clear salty finish. 1,205 bottles and 47 magnums were filled in June 2019.
