Cuentaviñas CDVIN Garnacha

There is a new village Garnacha from Cordovín, but because his winery is in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, he cannot use the name the village of Cordovín. So, he has resorted to labeling it as 2019 Garnacha CDVIN, an absurd last resort due to an absurd limitation in the regulations that I hope will be fixed sooner rather than later. It's produced with grapes from centenary vines in Cordovín and Baldarán on red silt and clay soils with alabaster and gypsum, fermented destemmed and matured in 500-liter barrels for 14 months. It's darker and riper than the 2020 I tasted next to it, with black rather than red fruit, 14% alcohol and a round and juicy palate where the tannins are fine and the finish fresh and long. 2,573 bottles were filled in June 2021.
