Cuatro Primos Mendoza - 2018
As the owner/winemaker at Familia Mayol, Matias Mayol comes from a family that is deeply rooted to the vineyard. In the early 1900′s, his grandfather left his vineyards in Spain for Mendoza, where the family settled, planted grapes and lived on the land. In the vineyard, Matias practices sustainable farming, turning the vineyards organic, one vineyard at a time. Intense and deep color, emphasizing the great body and signs. Ripeness on the nose with perfumed sweet fruit. Complex flavours on the palate with ripe and fleshy characteristics. Big structure maintaining balanced tannins. Plum and blackcurrant liqueur are combined very well with the toasting of the French oak. A bit dry towards the back and has a slight rustic charm. Powerful concentration and great balance.
