Las Gravas 2018 (x3)
Descripción
En la parcela Las Gravas, situada en las laderas de la montaña que domina la bodega, se cultiva principalmente la variedad Monastrell junto con la Garnacha. Es un vino en el que se busca un estilo muy mediterráneo. Es además, el más mineral de todos los de la bodega, y el aporte de Garnacha le otorga frescura y fluidez, haciendo que la potencia y la concentración de la zona queden acertadamente en segundo plano. Ha sido valorado por The Wine Advocate como uno de los 3 mejores vinos de esta D.O. murciana.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2018 Las Gravas is a blend of 90% Monastrell from limestone gravel soils and 10% Garnacha also planted in the same gravel soils, but it's obviously much younger than the Monastrell. It fermented in underground pools with 25% to 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in 5,000-liter oak foudres and 500-liter oak barrels for 16 months. It's an incredibly elegant and delicate Las Gravas, nuanced and with a discrete profile, a little shy at first. The palate is also super elegant and balanced, with refined tannins, a velvety texture and very fine chalky minerality. The north-facing vineyard, the backbone of this wine in a challenging and cooler year, is now 40 years old and has vigor and balance, which has resulted in an incredible wine through a lot of work in the vineyard. This has to be the finest vintage to date, a real triumph over the adverse conditions of the year that transcends the quality of the vintage. They used a lower percentage of Garnacha to avoid too much florality in the blend, and the wine is more serious. It's less explosive than the 2017, but I'd say, more gravelly... Bravo! 34,500 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.- Luis Gutiérrez.
Un vino perfecto. Equilibrado, redondo y con una magnífica relación calidad/precio. La expresión de un trabajo muy bien hecho
