Bodegas Fontana Oveja Tinta Graciano 2019

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

"Bold and opulent at the same time, the wine shows blackcurrant, vanilla, toasted nut and cake spice aromas on the nose. It's concentrated in the mouth, delivering plush texture as well as layers of fine tannins, making it superbly structured and persistent."

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: 13%
