Finca Terrerazo 2021
Ecológico
Made only from Bobal, a red variety native to the Valencia region with high acid and high tannin content, the wine Finca Terrerazo is one-of-a-kind.
Produced by Bodega Mustiguillo, this Spanish red wine comes from vines planted between 1945 and 1970 at an altitude of 800 metres. The unique personality of the terroir has gained the winery, a member of the Grandes Pagos de España association, the recognition of its own Designation of Origin, namely DOP El Terrerazo.
The grapes were harvested by hand and selected twice. Then each plot was separately vinified by winemaker Toni Sarrión. The grapes fermented in French wooden vats for 8 to 10 days, and then macerated for 10-12 days.
After that, the wine Finca Terrerazo 2021 completed malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Then it was aged for 14 months in French oak vats and in 225-litre French oak barrels. It was not fined or stabilized before bottling.
We suggest that you decant this organic red wine at least 1 hour before drinking.

| Appearance | The red wine Finca Terrerazo is deep purple with a violet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Bobal is very original, though it needs a some time to express itself. Sour red fruit and forest berries, with sparklingly bright mineral undertones, intense notes of balsam and bitter herbs, and some floral, earthy and spicy nuances. |
| Palate | Smooth and savoury, this wine of Bodega Mustiguillo has Nebbiolo-like tannins and an elegant structure. Tremendous freshness, an enticing mineral background and some amaro-ish nuances, with hints of liquorice and herbs. All in all, the wine conveys a definite sense of place and has a long, earthy finish. |
| Our personal opinion | Characterful and packed with information, the wine Finca Terrerazo 2021 is quite endearing. |
