Malpaso 2023

2023 / 94 puntos

The 2023 Malpaso is a fresh Syrah that is easy to drink. It comes from from trellised 23- to 26-year-old vines on sandy soils, and the grapes fermented with full clusters in open vats and were foot trodden. It has integrated oak after spending 11 to 12 months in 500- and 600-liter barrels. It's creamy, balsamic and aromatic with notes of thyme and rosemary, wild berry fruit, something leafy and a smoky touch. It has 14% alcohol and 5.5 grams of acidity and is round and juicy, with soft tannins. 17,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024.
