The red 2016 Alanda Tinto is a blend of Mencía, Bastardo and Garnacha Tintorera from different vineyards with different soils in different parts within Monterrei, fermented together with some full clusters and matured in barrique, stainless steel and concrete vats for 13 months. It has the freshness of 2016 and a fine thread on the palate with fine-grained tannins. It's serious and austere, nothing sweet or fancy here, with the granite personality.”

Shimmering ruby. High-pitched red and blue fruit, floral and baking spice scents show fine definition and a hint of smokiness. Vibrant, mineral- and spice-laced bitter cherry, red currant and boysenberry flavors deepen and turn sweeter through the midpalate. Finishes impressively long and lively, with emphatic spiciness and subtle tannins lending closing grip.
