This terroir is more precise than the 7 Fuentes blend and the old vines truly ratchet this up to the next level. The mineral core is more clearly present combined with perfect ripeness. Medium bodied, this wine shows no rusticity while the bright fruit layers are carried through by fine mineral notes. There is a silky quality to the tannins that are spot on.
