Colección Vivanco Parcelas de Garnacha

The 2016 Colección Parcelas de Garnacha felt fresher and less Châteauneuf-like than the 2015 with a full 1% less alcohol. It was produced with grapes from two vineyards that were converted to organic farming in 2019. It fermented in small oak vats and matured in new and second use 500-liter French oak barrels for 18 months. It's floral and perfumed with a touch of dark spices and clove, some notes of licorice and an earthy touch. It's medium to full-bodied with soft tannins and a velvety texture, finishing dry and long. 2,011 bottles were filled in April 2018.
