MURADELLA El Pliegue Single Plot 2015 Monterrei Spain 75cl Red

José Luis Mateo planted this plot in 2001 with Bastardo, Mencia, Carabunenta, Brancellao and Caino Longo. This great red wine offers an emanation of finely spiced red berries bordered by floral notes. Here again, the finesse speaks for itself and the potential of this wine is great!

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 work that must be guided by a strong vocational will. Jose Luis Mateo is the man behind the project. Its foundations sink into 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 icy 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 vinifiers. 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.

The wines are among our Cellar's favorites! They are incredibly fine and delicate! They have a bit of the Jurassian wine style, very far from preconceived ideas about Spanish wines!
