Nach neun Monaten im gebrauchten französischen 300-Literfass und zwei weiteren Monaten im Holztank entfaltet der Malayeto schwarze Fruchtaromen mit intensiver Würze und viel Frische. Am Gaumen ist das Holz sehr subtil im Hintergrund, die Hauptrolle spielen die Frucht und die ausgeprägte Mineralität.
"The single-vineyard Garnacha 2016 Malayeto comes from 2.39 hectares of vines averaging 35 years of age in the village of Fitero at 520 meters in altitude on limestone soils. It's a bright ruby colored red, wine with tons of spices, herbs, flowers, notes of bay leaf, thyme and a bright personality. It has a light to medium-bodied palate with unnoticeable oak (it matured in well-seasoned, neutral oak foudres and barrels), with complex stone minerality, a dry and long finish. This is really delicious and a very good value, possibly the freshest of the six Garnachas I tasted from them. Some 12,000 bottles were filled in March 2018. This is a real bargain, one to buy by the case." - Luis Gutiérrez (240, The Wine Advocate)
