La Garnacha de Mustiguillo 2021

2020 / 92 puntos

The Mediterranean red 2020 La Garnacha de Mustiguillo was produced with grapes from head-pruned and dry-farmed vines planted in the 1980s on limestone soils at 800 meters in altitude on their Finca Terrerazo property. It fermented with 20% to 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts in an 8,000-liter oak vat and matured in 5,000-liter oak vats (no more barrels) for eight months. There's good ripeness, varietal but with more fruit and less flowers. The palate is round and juicy, with some dusty tannins and a dry finish. It should be better with some more time in bottle. 13,800 bottles were filled in November 2021.
