Puro Rofe: Rofe Tinto Listan Negro 2020

Parker über: Rofe Tinto Listan Negro

The 2020 Rofe Tinto is less reductive than previous years; it's a little riper, and the wine is easier and more enjoyable. It's pure Listán Negro from different villages and zones, Tinajo, La Geria, Masdache ... all from traditional holes on volcanic soils. It fermented in plastic bins and open-top 500-liter oak barrels and had a partial carbonic maceration in stainless steel. The wine matured in used 500-liter oak barrels for six months. It's aromatic and floral and mixes the volcanic character of Lanzarote with reminiscences of some wines from Gredos. They racked the wine more, and it has a little more ripeness but still with a moderate 12.17% alcohol. Delicious! 2,590 bottles were produced. It was bottled in June 2021.
