Guía Peñin (94/100)
R. Parker (94/100)
The 2022 Finca Terrerazo wants to showcase their climate and soils through Bobal grapes in their Mediterranean location, from vines planted in 1945 and 1970. It fermented in 3,500- and 5,000-liter oak vats, where the wine underwent malolactic and 18 months of aging. It was the earliest harvest in their history, a year that gave them a lot of work. The wine has a smoky and spicy twist, aromas of ripe berry fruit and tons of Mediterranean herbs. It has 14% alcohol (not too high), a pH of 3.46 and 5.9 grams of acidity. It has a medium-bodied palate with clean and defined flavors, tasty and with abundant, very chalky and silky tannins, long and fresh, with elegance, avoiding the excess ripeness the vintage would have given, with less volume but better finesse. 28,908 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024. They didn't produce Quincha Corral in 2022, and those grapes made it into this blend, which was surely improved because of that. The wine comes through as a triumph over the natural conditions of the year.
