2021 Viticola Mentridana (Daniel Gomez Jimenez-Landi), Mentrida, Las Uvas de la Ira Garnacha Cuvee_Bermonts vinifying without destemming in cementMeaning literally The Grapes of Wrath, this wine is made from old vine Garnacha sourced from four different sites near the village of El Real de San Vicente. True to Danis style, this is miles away from the typical concentrated style many people associate with the grape. Rather, it is lifted and elegant, with savoury yet fresh red fruit, spice, and dry, chalky tannins. An ambitious yet equally lovely wine from a very promising young winemaker.
