Guimaro 'Finca Capelinos' Single Vineyard Mencia 2020

The 2020 Finca Capelinos comes from a warm year, but the grapes have been harvested earlier in recent years to achieve moderate alcohol and macerations have been shortened to get wines that are more elegant and harmonious. The 2020s are quite open and expressive, and the Capelinos displays impressive notes of violet pastille and a faintly Mediterranean note of aromatic herbs. This is 14% alcohol (only 0.5% more than the 2019). The tannins are very fine but quite abundant. 1,000 bottles were filled in February 2022. 96 points, drink 2023-2030, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate.
