Perhaps the 2017 Finca Rosende is the palest of the three single-vineyard bottlings in 2017, and it also seems to be a little more reticent and backward, perhaps more delicate. This is the oldest plot of the three, a slow-ripening plot in a cooler zone that is harvested last, the grapes ripened to perfection, and in this place 2017 was cooler than 2016. Surprisingly enough, this is mostly Garnacha Tintorera with s mélange of other grapes—Mencía, Palomino and God knows what. Yet, there is no rusticity, something I tend to associate with Garnacha Tintorera, and like the others, it has low alcohol and very good freshness, with blood orange peel-like sensations and a dry, long and mineral finish. This is the scarcest bottling, with only 234 bottles and six magnums produced, basically one barrique. It was bottled in January 2019. ... More details

The 2017 Finca Rosende is a blend of Garnacha Tintorera, Mencía and other white grapes from old-vines in the Ribeira Sacra. It underwent whole-cluster fermentation and aged for 12 months in used French barrels. Garnet in color, the aromas reveal notes of sour cherry and dried flowers, reminiscent of hawthorn. Light and fairly dusty on the palate due to its fine-grained tannins, its loose flow and delicate balance linger long, with a cleansing mouthfeel.

Region: Galicia

Spain is one of Europe's most ideal wine producing countries, with a wide range of terroirs and ideal climatic conditions for cultivating a fantastic variety of grapevines. However, the region of Galicia suffered a dramatic fall from grace in the 19th century, due to economic downturns which led to vineyards being left untended, and wineries derelict. This was a tragic loss to the wine world, as Galicia had once been an important center for Spanish wine, and one which had considerable influence and popularity due to its excellent range of white and red blended wines. However, the 20th century saw Galician wine making undergo a rebirth, and today, thanks to years of hard work and dedication, Galician wines are back on the shelves, and attracting a lot of attention thanks to their stunning flavors and careful, balanced blends of native fine grape varietals.

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
