Cerro Las Cuevas

The Pancrudo Garnacha was a hard act to follow, but the 2018 Cerro Las Cuevas, their "Selección Terroir" produced with a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 12% Graciano, 5% Garnacha and 3% Mazuelo from two ancient and beautiful vineyards in Ollauri, was able to keep it up. This follows the line of the 2017 and fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in 3,800-liter oak foudre and two barriques. It's elegant and perfumed, mixing notes of flowers, wild berries and herbs with transparent oak. On the palate, the tannins are very fine and provide a chalky texture, the flavors are clean and pure, and there is a nice sense of harmony. This is also superb. 5,339 bottles and 200 magnums produced. It was bottled in February 2020.
