la viña escondida 2020 [Red]
Producer: Bodegas Canopy
Region: DO Méntrida

100% garnacha ecologically grown on 90 year old vines in a vineyard perched on a rocky granite knoll in the Sierra de Gredos. Hand selected in the vineyard, lightly stomped in small vats, transferred to a 2,000 liter French oak tank, nurtured for 18 months.

Packed with multiple aromas: dark berries/plums, hillside herbs & flowers, tarragon, cinnamon bark with hints of stony minerals.
Full bodied with mature fruit, a fascinating background flavor that brings birch beer to mind, fluid tannins, nice balance, superb length. Outstanding.

We wrote up the 2018 vintage last year, the 2020 is certainly on a par.
