María 2018 Magnum
Descripción
María es el vino estrella de Alonso del Yerro. Únicamente se elabora en las mejores añadas. Nace de la selección de dos parcelas de la Finca Santa Marta, una ladera arcillosa que otorga al vino profundidad y estructura, y una de gravas calcáreas que entrega vinos más aromáticos. Pero si algo podemos destacar es que no hacen mucho más que dejar que la viña se exprese, y con esta honestidad consiguen un vino que no se olvida. En esta añada cuenta con estreno de imagen.

Opinión de los críticos
María hails from two parcels on the estate - Violeta and El Circo - and is a 60/40 blend of the two sites, both of which are at 800 metres. Subtle, structured and refined, it's chalky, intense, well-balanced Tinto Fino with notes of mint and fresh herbs, lots of perfume and the granular tannins that are its calling card. One of the region's very best reds. 2024-35
The 2018 María is a selection from two plots that seem to complement each other nicely. This is always a more powerful and concentrated wine that sees more new oak (around 25%) where the wine matures for 15 months and needs more time in bottle. It's a modern classical Ribera with 14.5% alcohol and with the freshness and balance from the 2018 vintage. The tannins are very fine, and the wine is full-bodied and fills your mouth. It will improve with more bottle aging. 7,000 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in July 2021.
