Medium ruby hue, with a bright and racy nose that’s full of pretty berries, redcurrants, fresh strawberries and potpourri. Medium-bodied and naturally juicy on the palate, showing lots of crunch and drinkability. Fresh, transparent and silky. Drink or hold.
Álvaro Palacios makes commendably large volumes of this delightful assemblage of Garnacha with 5% other, co-planted red and white varieties on the Monte Yerga. Deeper in colour and more structured than the 2019 release, this is a classic mountainside red with bramble, blueberry and red cherry fruit, sappy tannins, stylish 15% new wood and a plush, glossy finish. 2023-30
They are going for lower yields and less bottles of the 2020 La Montesa and slowly putting prices up, as they feel the wine is more serious than what the perception of the affordable price makes it. 2020 is a powerful vintage; it's structured and textured, the oak is very nicely integrated (12 months in barrel, but the powerful wine absorbed it completely), and it's powerful with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.55, a little darker than in previous years. The tannins are very fine with a subtle chalky texture. There were 2,319 barrels that resulted in 672,000 bottles, 10,000 magnums and some larger and smaller formats. It was bottled from April 2022.
