2013 Ferrer Bobet "Vinyes Velles"

The 2013 Vinyes Velles is an old-vine cuvée that mixes Cariñena with some 30% Garnacha from slate slopes and terraces in the village of Porrera. It fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak vats and matured in French oak barrels for some 15 months. There is a combination of fresh fruit and slate, with dusty minerality and imperceptible oak. The palate is medium to full-bodied with superb freshness and lively minerality, great persistence and length. It should develop nicely in bottle.
