Telescópico 2018

The 2018 Telescópico Garnacha Tinta · Garnacha Peluda · Mazuela is now a different blend, adding Mazuela (Cariñena) from Épila, and comes from a more complete and cooler year that also saw more rain, a slower maturation, proper ripening of the grapes and balanced and healthy grapes. Fermentation and élevage were similar to the 2017 I tasted next to it, with indigenous yeasts and 25% full clusters in 500- and 2,500-liter oak vessels for 13 months. There is more power here, and the input from the Cariñena gives it depth and complexity, a different profile from the more aromatic and lighter 2017. 21,700 bottles produced.
