Cantos del Diablo, Daniel Landi 2014

The single vineyard Garnacha 2014 Cantos del Diablo is produced with grapes from a single plot on a slope at 860 meters altitude in the village of El Real de San Vicente. This is in the Méntrida appellation but is also part of the Gredos Mountains, which is not a true appellation on paper but one that makes very much sense, adding parts of Méntrida, Madrid and the Ávila part of Castilla León. It has a very Burgundian nose with flinty minerality, and it opens up with time in the glass. It has citrus finesse, very fine tannins and a sapid, long finish. It matured in a 700-liter oak barrel, and, as all the wines here, does not show any oak. Narrow and long. 891 bottles were filled in June 2016, after a longer élevage.
