Michelini i Mufatto En el Camino

2021 was a cold year with snow, plenty of rain and some mildew pressure that delivered a slim 2021 En el Camino, a blend of Mencía and 10% other grapes (Palomino, Doña Blanca and Alicante Bouschet) from different vineyards mostly on clay and quartz soils. It fermented with 30% full clusters and indigenous yeasts and matured in a 50/50 combination of oak casks and stainless steel. It's very perfumed, expressive and open, elegant and balanced, fine-boned and seductive, very clean and defined. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2022.

Somewhat reductive character on the nose (flint). Earthy, white pepper and strawberry, hint of tomato leaf. Very pleasant to drink; mouth-watering acidity, soft tannins and ethereal texture. A wine with an aerial profile.
