Bodegas Palacios Remondo Propiedad 2017

The old-vine Garnacha 2017 Propiedad was produced with grapes coming from organically farmed vineyards in Las Mulgas, Valfrío, Valviejo and Corral de Serrano in Alfaro, vineyards that are organically farmed. The destemmed and crushed grapes fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and the wine matured in larger oak vats (mostly 5,000-liter) for 12 months. It has the Mediterranean profile of the vintage with some jovial notes of orange peel and red cherries intermixed with aromatic herbs. The palate reveals fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins. The palate has more freshness than what you expect from the notes on the nose. This wine has a good evolution in bottle even in warmer years like this or 2015. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2019.

A pure garnacha that shows incredible depth and freshness with strawberry and berry character. Plush on the entrance, it turns precise and focused at the finish. Vivid and bright.

The 2008 Propiedad is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Mazuelo and has a lifted floral bouquet with dark plum, minerals, sandalwood and graphite. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and impressive purity. Notes of strawberry and cranberry vie for attention, while the finish if composed and focused, if missing the persistence that would merit a higher score.
