The 2017 Papa Luna is a red Garnacha-based blend made with 20% Syrah and 5% Mazuelo (Cari?ena) from a low-yielding year as a result of the spring frosts that decimated the vineyards in spring of that year. The grapes were picked into October, quite late for the year, and the wine achieved close to 15% alcohol while keeping quite high acidity. It fermented and matured in epoxy-lined concrete tanks until bottling. It has a fruit-driven nose with some grapey aromas, with more black than red fruit, developing notes of licorice and some smoky undertones that must come from the Syrah and the lees. This is quite straightforward, with soft tannins; it's ripe, juicy and easy to drink. 40,000 bottles produced. There are three bottlings of this wine, and I tasted the last one, bottled in December 2019.
