Valtosca 2023
Descrição
Solos frescos cobertos por um tipo de calcário chamado “tosca”, dão origem a este monocasta de Syrah maduro e concentrado que se destaca pela sua combinação de fruta preta e aromas tostados. Valtosca é um dos vinhos mais conhecidos da Casa Castillo e um bom exemplo para conhecer o potencial da forasteira Syrah em terras murcianas.

There was no 2022 Valtosca because the hail affected the earlier-ripening varieties—Syrah and also Garnacha—so they jumped to the 2023 Valtosca for their Syrah. 2023 was a year when they could pick the variety a little later with full development of aromas and flavors. The wine is completely different form the rest: it's a different year and a different grape. It has pungent varietal aromas reminiscent of a Northern Rhône wine, with smoked bacon, tar and violets. It's juicy and round, with good ripeness, 15% alcohol and fine-grained and polished tannins. The oak is completely integrated here. It now matures in 500-liter barrels because it's the most reductive variety they farm, and it works better in barrel than in foudre. They struggled a lot in 2023 because it didn't rain a drop until May; that provoked a higher yield and vigor in the plants, and they produced a little over 20,000 bottles.

Otra añada que sigo prefiriendo Valtosca a las monastrelles y garnachas de la bodega
Recomiendo airear antes de beberlo, gana.
Se notan los taninos ligeramente ásperos, pero muy suaves. Muy agradable.
Es un vinazo. Muy rico y gustoso. RCP de categoría
Estupendo vino.
