El Escocés Volante Dos Dedos de Frente

The 2019 Dos Dedos de Frente comes from two hectares planted in 2000 in the village of Villarroya de la Sierra with a selection from the Rhône on stony soils at 950 meters in altitude and also contains 8% Viognier. The two varieties were fermented together, trying to obtain a less austere wine with a softer texture and rounder tannins with good ripeness at 14.65% alcohol and abundant tannins. It matured for one year in 500- and 650-liter oak, and the oak feels better integrated. 6,700 bottles were filled in 2021.

Spectacular and intense dark fruit on the nose! Blackcurrant, blackberries, cassis, violets, smoke and minerality. On the palate, it is rich and deep but not massive. It has mouth-watering acidity, ripe tannins, and elegant oak integration. I find this vintage more balanced than previous ones. The wine has precise fruit expression. 2018 has been the greatest year for this wine.
