This is his first vintage since venturing onto the other side of the fence. Made from 100% Mazuelo, this more than proves the worth of this local grape. Made entirely from this capricious variety that is used typically in blending, Carado ensured everything was done by hand through the growing season, with careful deleafing to allow it to reach full ripeness, then kept new oak to a minimum to allow the fruit to come to the fore. Bright berry and plum flavours, this is vivid and fresh, with low tannins, sweet spice and great persistency. Only 1,500 bottles. 13.5%abv. 94/100pts
