GarnaCHE Matias Michelini
-- Parker: The 2022 Matías Michelini GarnaCHE is a different expression of the lieu-dit El Corral de los Altos in the village of Fitero, produced by Matías Michelini from Argentina with Garnacha from a 0.84-heactare plot. It fermented in a 4,000-liter oak vat and 1,000-liter plastic bins with indigenous yeasts and matured in three used 500-liter oak barrels, a 1,200-liter Flextank egg and two 600-liter concrete eggs for 12 months. This is quite Mediterranean, with notes of aromatic herbs, and it's the one Garnacha with more oak, spicy and smoky. It's ripe, with 13.9% alcohol, over 1% higher than the previous year, with good freshness and acidity reflected in a pH of 3.3 and 5.55 grams of acidity. It's from a warmer, more Mediterranean year and has more exuberance and a round palate with some oak flavor and some tannins that might require a little more time in bottle. 5,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024.
