The 2013 Selección Personal is sourced from a different plot depending on the vintage, and in 2013 it comes from a plot between San Vicente and Labastida, a vineyard called Marrate in a zone known as El Bardallo. This plot is planted on different small terraces with old vines (about 70 years old) with mixed grapes, from which the Tempranillo is selected for this red. It has a subtle nose with moderate ripeness, without any excess or too much oak. The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel and the wine matured in new French oak barrels for 13 months. I found this wine quite oaky in previous years, but here the wood feels much better integrated, which is very welcomed, perhaps helped by the acidity and freshness of the year. This zone is quite stony and tends to produce mineral wines, of which this is a great example, with very fine, chalky tannins and a tasty, mineral finish. A great showing for Selección Personal. 4,520 bottles produced.
