mineral-driven acidity on finish

Dense and very sweet on the palate with nice pure fruit and firm tannins from the oak that still needs time to soften

Elegant and balanced

This was the first vintage that technical director Pierre-Olivier Clouet started to exclusively use 500-liter barrels for Quinault l'Enclos

Juicy acidity and a bit of grip

Raul Perez 'Las Gundinas' Lomas de Valtuille, Bierzo, Spain 2019 Rare Rose Blend mineral-driven acidity on finishPrez told me that Las Gundias is quite unpredictable, and the 2019 La Vizcana Las Gundias is more Rhne like and juicy, with notes of straw and hay and also a note of iron. It's 13. 5% alcohol. They always ferment with 10% full clusters and have the same maceration, but they have lowered the time in barrel as the wines stay in the fermentation oak vats until February and then are put in 500 liter and larger barrels and bottled before the next harvest.
