2020 RICO NUEVO JIRON DE NEIBLA
"The 2020 Jirón de Niebla is the most delicate and palest of their reds. It comes from vines in the north-facing paraje El Sotillo from Burgohondo, a shady zone with sandy soils that is mentioned on the label and is one of the parajes approved by the appellation. It was a long harvest, and they could pick the grapes at their peak. They used more full clusters, perhaps 40%, and matured exclusively in concrete and Flextank eggs. It's aromatic, floral, clean, elegant and expressive, serious, and it reflects the cooler place and the granite soils. It has 13.5% alcohol, very good balance and a sense of purity and elegance."
