Manga del Brujo 2021
Description
Dominé par des raisins de Grenache vieux, Manga del Brujo est le premier vin que le Master of Wine Norrel Robertson, surnommé le « Flying Scotsman », a fait à Calatayud. Avec ce rouge, le producteur rend hommage à sa terre d'accueil dès son nom, qui fait directement référence à Mahoma Rami, l'architecte du Pape Luna qui a conçu au XVe siècle la plupart des églises et des bâtiments de la région. Élégant, expressif, minéral et corsé. Sans aucun doute, l'un des vins offrant le meilleur rapport qualité-prix d'Aragon

L'avis des experts
A vibrant and highly drinkable Garnacha with some Syrah, Provechón (Bobal) and Mazuelo. This wine has changed over the years: now without any oak, it is instead all fermented and aged in cement. Grown on a lot of red clay, this has a wonderful ferrous note as well as crushed flowers, blueberry and bright cherry fruit. The Provechón brings a wild and savage character, adding depth and interest. Steely and textured, this is a delicious interpretation of the soil and altitude of the region. 2024 - 2027
Attractive mix of red and dark berries, dried orange peel, blue flowers, hints of sea shell and white pepper. So juicy and mouth-filling with crunchy acidity. Lots of tension and energy here with a bright, berry-soaked finish. The tannins are structured and meaty. A blend of 75% garnacha with shiraz, provechon and mazuelo. Old vines that are at least 45-years-old. Beautiful now, but can hold, too.
The 2021 Manga del Brujo is an unoaked red blend produced with 75% old-vine Garnacha, 10% Syrah, 10% Bobal (instead of the Tempranillo used before) and 5% Mazuelo (Cariñena), and they feel that it's more Calatayud that way. It's primary and fruit-driven, their more exported wine, an all-road wine, with concentration, freshness, sous bois and a little of an homage to Châteauneuf with an Aragón twist. It's not a shy red at 14.75% alcohol, but it goes unnoticed. Very tasty. There are around 70,000 bottles in three of four bottlings from a single master blend kept in underground concrete that is very stable. Superb value.

Muy rico. Garnacha vieja para disfrutar
Rico. Se puede repetir
Festival de tostados echando de menos un poco más de frutalidad.
