Tasting Notes
The amber colored 2020 Phincas Thousand Mils was produced with a blend of 65% Viura, 25% Garnacha Blanca, Malvasia Riojana, Palomino and Cayetana, plus 10% experimental varieties. The grapes were foot trodden to start the fermentation, which finished in barrel. It matured in 500-liter French oak barrels for three years. It has the classical skin-contact profile, with yellow fruit, pollen and quince and a slightly tannic palate with a bitter twist in the finish, dense and pungent. 2,388 bottles were filled in October 2023.
