2018 | Quinta da Muradella 'Muradella' Tinto | Monterrei

I love the elegant, complex and subtle nose of the 2018 Quinta da Muradella Tinto, produced with 23-year-old vines planted on three different soils: sand, slate and clay with lots of iron. It has a sense of purity and balance that is touching. There is a sense of innocence and simplicity that is difficult to achieve. It's subtle and balanced, with very fine tannins and a beautiful mouthfeel. It's a co-fermentation of Mencía, Zamarrica, Bastardo, Caíño Redondo and Albarello fermented destemmed in concrete with a soft extraction and a long maceration. 95 Pts Wine Advocate
