Bodegas Fontana Oveja Tinta Graciano 2020

93 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit

"The gorgeous blackberry and raspberry flavours are beautifully enhanced by clove, thyme and floral undertones. The palate delivers lovely fruit purity as well as subtle spicy notes, wonderfully framed by silky texture and rounded tannins. The wine is youthfully charming and instantly appealing."
 - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The 'Oveja' series is a dynamic range of limited releases. Under these labels Bodegas Fontana bottle single fermentation tanks that are the result of their work and experiments in the vineyard. The varieties and quantities bottled vary from year to year, but they promise that all wines bottled under the Oveja labels are interesting and fun, showing the potential of their area and grape varieties. The sheep on the labels represent not only the region and heritage, but also as a symbol of this vineyard's honest approach to wine making.

Sourced from Bodegas Fontana's south-east facing site, where 10 year old vines are planted on clay loam soils. Here careful management with trellis, vine spacing and crop thinning together with drip feed irrigation are used to ensure the grape shows the typical characters of the variety.

ABV: 14.5%
