The 2021 Telescópico Garnacha · Garnacha Peluda · Mazuela was produced with grapes from old vines in conversion to organic farming in the villages of Alpartir and Morata on limestone and slate soils. It fermented separately, with 80% full clusters (on average, the Cariñena is destemmed and has a softer vinification) in open-top vats with indigenous yeasts and foot treading and a 40-day maceration, then matured in 500-liter barrels and 2,500- and 3,000-liter foudres for four months. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (13.5%) coupled with very good freshness and acidity. 2021 had a longer cycle, and the grapes developed more aromas and nuances. It is elegant and floral, with more flavors, and the wine is tastier and more umami, with abundant, finer tannins. This is a more serious wine, with citrus freshness. Superb. (LG)

The nose on this is super ethereal, really light and lovely, with these hints of crunchy fruits and something floral in the background. The palate is surprisingly bright and bold for having such a reticent nose. I don't remember it being like this, perhaps it's the time it's been open, but that definitely hasn't negatively impacted the palate at all, it's great and juicy and super delicious. Much more red than black on the fruit, there's tons of cran-raspberry with a little bit of pie cherry, and a touch of pomegranate with a really long very juicy and only slightly tannin finish that just keeps going and going.
