Opinión de los críticos
60 year old Garnacha vines in El Real de San Vicente, at the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos, reveal old vine concentration and complexity in this wildly expressive wine from Alfonso Chacón. Full of mountain herbs and floral notes, there’s just the right amount of green freshness with notes of tomato vine and wild raspberry. The palate is driven by intense flinty and granitic character with chalky tannins and a minty finish, while 17 months in French oak tames this muscular and energetic Méntrida red. 2024 - 2034
I thought they had stopped producing the Garnacha Congo, which they had not produced since 2015. This time, they showed me a 2021 Congo produced with the selected bunches (usually from the north-facing slopes) from a plot they call Presidente in the village of El Real de San Vicente, which is in Gredos but on the Métrida side. The wine fermented with 100% full clusters and had a very soft extraction to obtain a delicate and floral wine. It has a deeper color and a sensation of high ripeness; it's more powerful than the majority of their Garnacha bottlings. It has abundant tannins and a full-bodied palate. It matured in 500- and 600-liter oak barrels for 18 months. 2,350 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2022.
