2014 Las Uvas de la Ira

The 2014 Las Uvas de la Ira wants to showcase the typicity of the village of El Real de San Vicente. The wine is a little reduced and it clearly benefit from being in contact with air, so decanting in advance is recommended, as right now once opened there are strong aromas of struck match. I tasted one bottle that was popped and poured, and another one that had been decanted for some 12 hours, and the differences were noticeable. It has red berry fruit and something citric and aromas and a sensation akin to berry kernels and wet stones. The palate is vivacious, with fine tannins, a lively texture that show energy and a minerality that might remind of chalk. The village has granite soils at some 750 meters altitude. There is very good freshness in this 2014, with nice balance of fruit. 13,146 bottles produced.
