Tasting Note

The 2017 Camino de los Arrieros, which is approximately 25 Juan Garca, 15 Bastardo, 20 Trincadeira Preta, 10 Rufete, 10 Mandn and the remaining made up of white grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in 1,000-liter oak foudre and 500-liter barrel for six months. Despite the character of the vintage, the wine is only 12.5 alcohol, and yes, it feels a little riper when tasted next to the 2018, but it's still a medium-bodied, lightish and pale red that is characterful and easy to drink, with some cherries and wild herbs and very fine, almost unnoticeable tannins. It's simply delicious.
