Buena Pinta Moravia Agria
The 2024 Buena Pinta, from a single vineyard of ungrafted vines, has very contained ripeness and no more than 12% alcohol. It has a different aromatic palette with freshness (pH of 3.45 and six grams of acidity) that transcends the conditions of the vintage. Since 2022, he removed the percentage of Garnacha is used to have, so now it's 100% Moravia Agria from granite soils, fermented with 100% full clusters in 4,500-liter oak foudres and matured in a 2,500-liter oak vats for 13 months. Aromatically, this is more different than the other reds from Monastrell and Garnacha, with an absence of fruit, with some herbal and balsamic notes, a little à la Cabernet Franc, spicy, with notes of cloves. It's nicely built and has tension. They picked the grapes early this year, and they had done a short pruning, mostly to protect the vines, which come from the largest old vineyard planted with the variety in the whole of Manchuela, which is why they purchased it. After an awkward 2023, this goes back to the usual profile. Another bargain! This will also age nicely in bottle for a decade. 4,500 bottles produced. It was bottled at the end of October 2025.
