Dominio de Es La Diva 2018 750ml

“The 2018 La Diva comes from an ungrafted plot on sandy and limestone terraces, 0.35 hectares planted with Tempranillo and some 5% Albillo. The destemmed grapes fermented in an open-top oak vat with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in second and third use Burgundian barrels for 19 months. This is simply superb, elegant and powerful, an improved version of the already superb 2016. It has a very fine thread on the palate, beautifully textured and complete, with very fine chalky tannins and a long, dry and serious finish. Unfortunately, only were produced. It was bottled in June 2020. This has 14% alcohol and is completely in balance.The 2018 La Diva comes from an ungrafted plot on sandy and limestone terraces, 0.35 hectares planted with Tempranillo and some 5% Albillo.
