Tasting notes
The 2017 Finca Piedra Infinita Supercal comes from a plot of 0.54 hectares in the Finca Piedra Infinita vineyard where the soils are very shallow, and there are rocks from the surface all the way down and the limestone content is very high. With that soil condition, they have to harvest the grapes very early, especially in the warmer years. This is austere and not as complete or complex as the 2018 but powerful and mineral. It finished very dry. 1,600 bottles were filled in August 2018.

Supercal comes from a tiny calcareous parcel with lots of rocks. Much richer on the nose than the Piedra Infinita non-Supercal . Very tight tannins. Pretty dry minerally finish. Needs decanting? Super-zesty but it’s still very young. I think it will be sensational but not yet ready. (JR)
This has very spicy, floral and black-licorice notes on the nose. Black olives, too. Full-bodied, round and juicy with delicious and succulent dark fruit and wet earth. Cool, single-parcel wine. Drink now. 1,200 bottles made.
