| Description: | 34% Menca, 33% Bastardo (aka Trousseau), 33% Garnacha Tinta. Wine Advocate 93 Points - "The characterful 2018 Alanda Tinto was produced with a blend of Menca, Bastardo and Garnacha Tintorera from their vineyards with different soils (slate, sand and clay) in different parts within Monterrei. It fermented together with one-third full clusters in stainless steel and concrete and matured in barrique, stainless steel and concrete vats for 15 months ; then it was blended and put back in stainless steel for one more year. It has very good freshness, purity of aroma and flavors and a medium-bodied palate, with moderate alcohol and very fine tannins. "Since the 1990s, this tiny Monterrei passion project has been lovingly run by Jos Luis Mateo, considered by many to be the greatest vigneron in the red-hot Galicia region.With a perfectionist streak bordering on obsessiveness, Jos Luis often waits years to release his wines. In the process, they have become some of Spains most coveted cult wines. Aside from spontaneous ferments, minimal sulfur additions, and unfined/unfiltered bottlings, Jos Luis is always adapting; hell never use a standardized formula. He trials various vessels, blends, and aging lengths, and never has a set bottling date. He is always patient, only releasing the wines when they are ready. " - Rare Wine Co., Importer |
