Bodegas Mas Que Vinos Description
BLEND | 2 parts Cencibel (Tempranillo), 1 part Garnacha, 1 part Airen, 1 part MalvarVINEYARDS | Cencibel, the local clone of Tempranillo, is uniquely suited to the harsh climate of the area with a smaller, more compact bunch size and thicker skin to withstand heavy winds. A selection of old bush vines (average of 50 years old) on limestone & clay soils at 750-800 meters on the meseta.
WINEMAKING | The four varieties were all hand harvested and cofermented with spontaneous whole cluster fermentation and elevage in amphora.
TASTING NOTES | Each variety lends its own characteristic to this fresh wine - soft tannin, cherry and liquorice from the Tempranillo; white pepper, sandelwood and cassis from the Garnacha; butterscotch, chamomile and thyme from the Malvar; and citrus, bergamot orange, and freshness from the Airen.
