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

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

For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.
