Descripción

Este tinto se elabora empleando uvas procedentes de siete parcelas distintas. La Cariñena protagoniza este vino, procedente de una añada difícil que propició una producción muy contenida en la casa de David & Nadia. Encontramos apuntes aromáticos de moras, clavo y laurel, con un paladar suave y fluído.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

A blend of Carignan, Syrah, Cinsault, Pinotage and Grenache, the nose of the 2016 Elpidios is a solid expression of Rhône varietals in South Africa. Dried and candied red fruits on the nose express something more akin to a young Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The palate is precise, focused and spicy, with soft, dusty red fruit, dried herbs and soft, red spice tones. The finish lingers with precise red-fruit tones and oak. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is both elegant and enjoyable, ending with a long finish. There is a clear focus on precision and elegance here, showing a beautifully balanced and structured wine. Just under 8000 bottles were filled.
