The red 2020 Laderas de Sedella, which wears the subtitle "Anfora," has an earthy and rustic nose with some dusty notes, hints of fresh meat, wild berries and aromatic herbs. It has a medium-bodied palate with abundant, slightly powdery tannins and a dry finish. Despite its age, it feels like it might need a little more time and/or powerful food. It's a blend of Romé, Garnacha and Jaén Tinto from vines planted in 2008 on slate soils, fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and matured in concrete eggs and clay tinajas for 14 months. It has a moderate 12.9% alcohol and good freshness and acidity. (LG)

Notes

Founded in 2006, Sedella is owned and run by Lauren Rosillo, an innovative, young Spanish winemaker who previously worked on projects in Rioja, Rueda and La Mancha before falling in love with the Axarquia region in Malaga. There he found a 2.5-hectare vineyard located in Sedella a quaint town of 400 people, with slate-strewn soil. This high-elevation site (2461 feet) is comprised of a 100+-year-old field blend of Romé, Jaén and Garnacha. Lauren uses Roman plows and horses rather than tractors to avoid compressing the soil. At its steepest, the slopes are at a 45% grade, but Lauren maneuvers the horses adeptly on the hillsides. The vineyards are organically farmed and certified. Production here is tiny, about 400 cases total.
