Mestizaje 2022

The red 2022 Mestizaje was produced with 80% Bobal and 20% Garnacha (no more Syrah, at least in 2022 and 2023) fermented separately by variety and plot in stainless steel and oak vats and matured in French oak vats and 500-liter barrels for one year. The Garnacha complements the Syrah quite well, giving it a little bit of an aromatic kick, and the wine comes through as perfumed and elegant, with no oak whatsoever. It's fruit-driven and very harmonious and has contained ripeness, 14% alcohol, with no heat at all, a pH of 3.46 and 6.04 grams of acidity. There's no trace of a torrid vintage here. 62,596 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024.
