Tasting Notes
The Mediterranean village red 2017 Bellmunt follows the path toward elegance and balance from the 2016. This blend of 60% Garnacha, 30% Cariñena and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the youngest vineyards and often from deeper soils, which deliver sweet and fresh fruit-driven reds. Each plot ferments separately in stainless steel with natural yeasts, and malolactic is carried out in the underground concrete pools, after which the wines are blended and matured in concrete (30%) and the rest in 1,500- and 3,000-liter oak vats. It's juicy and has very fine tannins that provide a silky texture, nice balance and a fresh finish. They always keep the wines in bottle before they are released, even 10 months for this, their youngest red. It was bottled in May 2019.
