The 2015 Colección Parcelas de Garnacha was sourced from different vineyards that were fermented separately in small oak vats. The wine matured in new and second use 500-liter French oak barrels for 18 months. It started quite closed and a little reductive, and it took some time in the glass to open up. It developed into a characterful wine, ripe without excess and a little wild, more in a Rh?ne style than like other examples from Rioja. It's a little heady and with a meaty touch, and I like it very much. It has 15% alcohol and a warm and generous profile, but the alcohol is not noticeable and it's nicely balanced by good acidity. This comes mostly from higher-altitude vineyards in Tudelilla, in the Carbonera zone. 1,200 bottles were filled in May 2017.
