Martinez

Serious single-vineyard wine from extremely old, un-grafted vines growing at over 3,000 feet elevation in La Aguilera. Planted in 1895, the vineyard survived phylloxera thanks to its gravelly, sandy soils. Fermented and aged for 15 months in open-top 500-liter oak barrels, followed by an additional 4 months in concrete tanks. Dark fruit, licorice and hints of mint on the nose. Full-bodied, quite concentrated, good structure. I found Peña Lobera much more elegant
