MURADELLA Castro Baroncelli Massale Selection 2018 Monterrei Spain 75cl Red

🍷 Serving temperature 17-18°

The story of Quinta da Muradella is a story of betting again on the rural environment and on the old vines that had been abandoned due to their low yield. It is a job that must be guided by a strong vocational will. Jose Luis Mateo is the man behind the project. Its foundations are rooted in two vineyards that his father, a stonemason by profession but a farmer at heart, worked for private consumption and, later, for consumption in the family bar. We are located in the Monterrei region, on the border with Portugal and with a more continental than Atlantic climate, with hot summers and freezing winters.

José Luis works organically in an area where many grafted rootstocks of Garnacha Tintorera and Mencía have been replanted. However, he has always opted for genetic diversity and tends to produce with a multitude of vinifera. Some have even been planted by himself with massal selections. Among them: Bastardo ( Merenzao ), Mencía , Garnacha Tintorera , Caiño Tinto , Albarello ( Brancellao ), Arauxa (Tempranillo), Sousón or Zamarrica.

These wines are among our Cellar's favorites! They are incredibly refined and delicate! They evoke a bit of the Jura wine style, far from preconceived notions about Spanish wines!
