La Mujer Cañón 2018

The single-vineyard Garnacha 2018 La Mujer Cañón from a north-facing, one-hectare plot of vines that were planted in 1934 on granite soils at 950 meters in altitude and are worked organically. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and full clusters in an oak vat, with a soft vinification and a long maceration the Comando G way. It matured in used French oak barrels for 12 months. The grapes ripened thoroughly and slowly, and the wine reached 15% alcohol. It has good ripeness but still maintains an herbal side. This is more Mediterranean than the majority of the 2018s, and there is a little more concentration and tannin. The flavor profile shows ripeness but keeps the chalky/granite tannins. 2,447 bottles, 90 magnums and five double magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2020.
