Parajes de los Vidrios Garnacha 2016

The eponymous 2016 Garnacha must have been the first wine produced here, and perhaps the oak was newer and marked the wine a little more. However, the wine has had the advantage of time in bottle and displays a pale color, a delicate nose with floral notes and a fresh, mineral palate—a good representation of what the zone can deliver. It was produced with grapes from old vines in the villages of Cadalso de los Vidrios and San Martín de Valdeiglesias and fermented in stainless steel and concrete with 50% full clusters and indigenous yeasts. It matured in used French oak barrels for 12 months. It's tasty and balanced, elegant, delicate and fine. 8,700 bottles were filled in April 2018.
