Tasting Notes

Las Gundinas is without doubt the best vintage we have tasted to date. More ferrous and mineral this year, where normally it exudes more chocolate and earth, the 2018 has a certain transparency of red fruit that is very welcome and not dissimilar to Pinot Noir or perhaps Sangiovese (with less tannin). Almost elemental, with an earthy red fruit richness - strawberries, damson and redcurrants in particular, but a prominent dry irony spice and tobacco speaks to a high level of complexity and savouriness not often associated with this cuvee. Superb

About the Winery
