Javi Revert 'Sensal'
, 2019
Spain Red
Valencia 75cl
13% alcohol. This is from mountain vines at 670-800 metres. It’s a blend of 70% Garnacha (young vines which Javi planted, and which were 4 years old at this stage) and 30% of a local variety called Bonicaire. This unusual varietal mix (normally there’s Monastrell in the blend) reflects the challenging vintage, with quite a bit of rain. There’s no added sulfite, with 100% whole bunch fermentation. This is a really distinctive wine, showing fresh red cherries and plums with an appealing sappy edge. It’s a lighter-style red, with freshness and balance, but also some sweetness to the fruit, making it drinkable and delicious. Juicy, spicy and alive with a nice rounded texture, and a bit of spicy zip on the finish, with notes of dried herbs and pepper. Lovely stuff. 94/100 Jamie Goode Wine Anorak.
Jamie has nailed this with his tasting notes! It is fresh, crunchy and pure with fresh herb and a vibrancy. lovely wine and actually pretty versatile food wise - working with dishes like prawn saganki and iberico pork presa with romesco.
