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

The northern Spanish wine region of Galicia is a fascinating one indeed, and is most definitely a wine region to keep your eye on today and in the near future. Once an important center of viticulture and wine trade, Galicia suffered from a huge and devastating economic depression in the 19th century, leaving many of the vineyards untended and useless. However, the 20th century saw various organizations pour money into Galician wine making, thus rebooting the wine industry of this relative wet and windy region on the Atlantic coast. Today, the region is being celebrated for its superb and flavorful blended white wines, made from native grape varietals such as Albarino and Caino Blanca, and is continuing to rebuild itself and regain former glories.

Country: Spain

Spanish wines are renowned world-wide for carrying all the passion and character of the Spanish culture within them. Any lover of Spanish wine would undoubtedly be able to confirm this notion, as the variety and range of flavors and aromas coming from the high end of Spanish produce is truly impressive, and continues to delight and fascinate both newcomers and the more experienced. Spain benefits massively from an ideal climate for wine production and vine cultivation, with its long, scorching hot summers and far reaching oceanic breezes working perfectly with the native and imported grape varietals, which thrive on the mineral rich soils that cover much of the country. With centuries of knowledge, and generations of expertise under their belts, Spanish wineries continue to focus on raising the quality of their nation's wines, helped along the way by relatively new laws and regulations regarding regional excellence and representativeness.
