Finca Iscorta Gran Reserva 2015

A more modern Gran Reserva from a single vineyard, the 2015 Finca Iscorta de Peciña Gran Reserva was produced with the grapes from a 50-year-old vineyard, fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel with a moderate extraction and short-ish maceration. It matured in used American oak barrels for four years and was racked every six months. It's a little darker, the color and the fruit profile, and it's intensely balsamic, with notes of camphor and abundant spicy notes. It's solid and seamless and fills your mouth; it's powerful with 15% alcohol and 6.2 grams of acidity, ripe but balanced. It should continue developing nicely in bottle. 16,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020.

Last made in 2010, Finca Iscorta hails from a single parcel of 55-year-old vines in Labastida.
Dominated by Tempranillo, with 5% Garnacha and Graciano adding extra complexity, it’s
serious, sappy and sweetly wooded, with more alcohol and weight than the rest of the Peciña
reds, a balsamic lift and plenty of refreshing acidity. 2024-29
