The 2018 VT Vendimia Seleccionada is a blend of 75% Tinto Fino, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot that fermented separately and matured for 12 months in French oak barrels, 25% of them new. There are some toasted notes intermixed with ripe berries, some flowers and plenty of herbs and spices, continuing the path of freshness that I saw in 2014. It feels a little riper than the pure Tinto Fino, with a medium to full-bodied palate and some dusty tannins. The Cabernet and Merlot change the character of this blend compared with the pure Tinto Fino and also make it a little rounder and more fruit-driven, with a little more spicy oak and a touch of meaty aromas. 7,720 bottles and 300 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2020.
