Production
Harvest in boxes, cleaning the raisin grapes on the table, treading the grapes in small barrels, spontaneous fermentation without temperature control. Wet the hat twice a day. Used 600-liter French oak barrel Demi mud high quality and 36-month drying.
Alcohol: 12.5%
Tasting Notes
The color is dark red, and the scent is elegant and mixed with notes of wild berries and herbs. The tannins are very fine and give a chalky texture. The taste is clean, slightly strong and with a nice sense of harmony.
Tim Atkins:
"Erosivo is a field blend of Graciano de Alfaro (Tinto Velasco) with 20% Calagraño and 10% Garnacha, sourced from a 0.56- hectare plot called La Yasa de Las Cueves that was planted in two stages in the 1950s. It's a stunning first release, showing intense wild herb aromas, graceful, sculpted tannins, abundant minerality, plum, and bramble fruit, and remarkable poise and palate length"
