Guimaro 'San Pedro' Mencia 2020

There are two new reds from 2020 to compare the character of the wines from the Sil and the ones from the Mino. The one from the Sil is the 2020 San Pedro, which has the ripe, fruit-driven, floral and in-your-face nose from the zone, very much exemplifying the style from Guimaro. It has a medium body, very fine, melted tannins and tasty flavors. It was a riper and warmer year with a little more alcohol, 13.5% in this case. It fermented in oak vats with 40% full clusters and matured in a 3,000-liter oak foudre for 18 months. 3,500 bottles were produced. It was bottled in November 2022. Drink 2023-2028, 93+ Points.
