2020 Jose Gil San Vincente de la Sonsierra (750ml)

From Rioja, Spain

The 2020 Viñedos en San Vicente de la Sonsierra, the village red, is quite different from the previous vintages, as it has up to 20% Garnacha—more than in the past, when it could be some 2%. They also used some 10% full clusters and uncrushed grapes for the fermentation in stainless steel and plastic bins with indigenous yeasts. The wine matured in 500-liter oak barrel for some 10 months, and the integration of oak is better than with the smaller barrels. It's more expressive, with a floral character and perfume that is very attractive, and it's balanced and fresh, clean and tasty, with a medium body and very fine tannins. There are 3,800 bottles. It was bottled in September 2021 just before the following harvest.

A very good place to start discovering the character of San Vicente de la Sonsierra. José Gil is from a local wine-growing family. In 2016, he and his wife Vicky launched their own wines, which are aged in a calado, a traditional underground cellar. This is the village wine, and his time in Burgundy shows: super-elegant, with well-handled large-format oak influence.
