2020 Daniel Landi Las Uvas de la Ira Garnacha

The grapes for the village red El Real De San Vicente 2020 Las Uvas de la Ira were picked before the abundant rains of mid-September, as it’s a warmer place than other villages in Gredos, and the wine has a little more the character of a ripe year (it reached 15% alcohol) with tons of spices, wild berries, herbs and flowers with a note of pollen. Picking the grapes before the rain in Real del San Vicente was the right decision, and they consider the single-vineyard Cantos del Diablo (which unfortunately I didn’t get to taste) as the best vintage for that wine so far. This is medium-bodied and balanced, with very fine grainy tannins. 11,546 bottles were produced from 4.5 hectares of Garnacha on granite soils.
