Mas Que Vinos 5/4th Red / 750mL

A Clarete-a blend of red and white grapes-Mas Que Vinos 5/4 is made from a selection of 50-year-old bush vines grown on limestone and clay soils, at between 750-800 meters above sea level, on the meseta. The 2022 bottling is a blend of 40% Cencibel (Tempranillo), 20% Garnacha, 20% Airen and 20% Malvar. The four varieties were all hand harvested and co-fermented with spontaneous (indigenous yeasts) whole cluster fermentation and elevage in amphora; aged for nine months before bottling. Fresh aromas of red summer fruits mingled with a sweet, herbal thread. Pleasantly fruited, with lots of delicious red and dark cherries, pitted plum, with a touch of peppery spice. The medium bodied palate is nicely balanced, solidly composed, with good acidity and dusty, food-friendly tannins.
