La Carrodilla 2022 Canto de Luna

The only red blend made from this organic and biodynamic certified estate, this is the first vintage where the constituent grapes are more or less equal. Tempranillo takes the lead in in what unfolds as a layered, generous symphony of perfectly ripened fruit with all of the spice required to give the wines lift and vivacity in the mouth. Since the wine never seems aging in oak barrels you have all of the excellent character of the grapes on full display here, and the show is an impressive one.
