Daniel Landi Las Uvas de la Ira

Fabulous Garnacha from the mountainous Gredos region. Wears its 15% alcohol really well. 

" The grapes for the village red El Real De San Vicente 2020 Las Uvas de la Ira were picked before the abundant rains of mid-September, as it's a warmer place than other villages in Gredos, and the wine has a little more the character of a ripe year (it reached 15% alcohol) with tons of spices, wild berries, herbs and flowers with a note of pollen. Picking the grapes before the rain in Real del San Vicente was the right decision, and they consider the single-vineyard Cantos del Diablo (which unfortunately I didn't get to taste) as the best vintage for that wine so far. This is medium-bodied and balanced, with very fine grainy tannins. 11,546 bottles were produced from 4.5 hectares of Garnacha on granite soils." 93 pts Luis Gutiérrez The Wine Advocate
