Spec sheet
The wine
A modern wine exhibiting all the character of the La Mala plot, a small parcel of land amounting to 1.5 ha, planted on very sandy soil and one where each plant only yields between 1 and 1.5 kg of grapes per harvest. Definitely a low production wine, which is why it must have come by its name, but it does have a very intense flavour.
Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels (50% new).
