El Jardin de las Iguales Tinto, Bodegas Frontonio 2018

This is old vine Garnacha from 100yr vines planted on blue slate soils at 700m altitude. 100% whole bunch fermented with 78 days on skins and then aged for 14 months in old Burgundy barrels. Gorgeously fragrant bouquet of rose petals and violets alongside subtle herbal tones of mint, tarragon and rosemary. Very complex and aromatic. Crunchy red fruits dominate, cranberries and red currants galore. The palate is subtle and refined, very structured and supremely balanced in freshness, mineral tannins and with just the subtlest rosehip accent. Very youthful and regal at this stage, will benefit from ageing.
