Bodegas Mustiguillo
2022 Mestizaje Tinto
BLEND |80% Bobal & 20% Garnacha
VINEYARDS | Organic viticulture at 800 meters altitude where traditional farming meets modern techniques in this young wine from Mustiguillo.
WINEMAKING | The varieties are vinified separately and undergo malolactic in a mixture of oak and stainless steel. The final blend spends 11 months in French oak.
TASTING NOTES
Deep in color with an intriguing nose of black fruits, violets, cedar and black pepper. The fleshy dark fruit flavors of blackberry and black currant are lifted by brink mineral acidity (this is where those limestone soils come through) and fine tannins. Leaves you on a nice sweet and spicy finish, a perfect pair with anything cooked over fire & smoke.

“The red 2022 Mestizaje was produced with 80% Bobal and 20% Garnacha (no more Syrah, at least in 2022 and 2023) fermented separately by variety and plot in stainless steel and oak vats and matured in French oak vats and 500-liter barrels for one year. The Garnacha complements the Syrah quite well, giving it a little bit of an aromatic kick, and the wine comes through as perfumed and elegant, with no oak whatsoever. It’s fruit-driven and very harmonious and has contained ripeness, There’s no trace of a torrid vintage here.” - Luis Gutierrez
