“The 2017 La Malvar de Más Que Vinos was produced with the Malvar grape from central Spain, from 1.5 hectares of older head-pruned and younger trellised vines on clay and gypsum soil. It started its fermentation in concrete and finished it in oak barrels, where the wine matured with the lees for five months. There is a note of fruit in syrup, reflecting a dry, warm and early vintage, with plenty of herbal notes. It has a creamy palate, with very integrated alcohol, generous and round with a long, bittersweet finish with the sapid limestone twist. A triumph over the conditions of the year. 4,000 bottles were filled in March 2018.” - Luis Gutierrez
