Lindes de Remelluri Viñedos de Labastida 2016
Review
From the 2010 vintage onwards, the vineyards of Lindes de Remelluri have been vinified separately, resulting in two different wines: Viñedos de La Bastida and Viñedos de San Vicente.
In the case of Viñedos de Labastida, the grapes come from the vines nearest to the Sierra de Cantabria mountain range, where the weather conditions contrive to bring on a later ripening of the grapes: more rainfall, more freshness in the atmosphere and a greater contrast in temperatures. This all results in a wine with a lower alcohol content, a bit more acidity, greater potential for tannins and an increased ageing capacity.
The end result is an elegant and refined wine, with intense aromas of fresh fruit and a background of aromatic plants. It has freshness, good acidity and tastes clean, pure and powerful, lingering long on the palate.
