Guímaro Finca Capeliños 2023

2022 / 96 puntos

The 2022 Finca Capeliños, from a field blend of centenary vines containing 70% Mencía and the rest Brancellao, Merenzao, Garnacha, Mouratón, Negreda and Sousón, is perfumed and ethereal but quite complete; there's often a violet pastille in this wine that makes it very attractive and showy. It fermented with 60% full clusters in oak vat and matured in used 225-liter French oak barrels for 12 to 13 months. It's medium-bodied, with contained ripeness and 13% alcohol, very tasty and with very fine tannins. It has more structure than the 2021 but keeps the freshness. 1,000 bottles were filled in July 2024.
