Falcoeira 2018

- 95 points -

The 2018 Falcoeira A Capilla comes from a wet and somewhat challenging year given the warm summer after a rainy spring that made them work hard in the vineyards. This comes from a field blend of Mencía, Brancellao, Sousón, Garnacha Tintorera and other grapes that they replanted on steep terraces on granite soils at 400 to 600 meters in altitude. It fermented in 3,000-kilo oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in a 2,000-liter oak foudre. It has moderate alcohol, despite being from a warm exposure. This is a wine that has been improving every year, and in the cooler 2018 vintage, it comes through as very aromatic, floral, elegant and expressive (I said "Burgundian," and Pablo didn't like it very much). It's a medium-bodied red, beautifully textured, with very fine tannins, the granite grainy feeling and a dry and long finish with pungent flavors. I love it! 1,200 bottles were filled in June 2020.
