Oxer Wines Kalamity 2024

The red 2024 Kalamity was produced in 2014 from a field blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Viura and Garnacha Blanca from very old vines in Elvillar, Laguardia and Camprovín harvested relatively early to avoid excess alcohol and to keep the acidity. The grapes were partly destemmed, partly crushed and partly fermented with full clusters in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and had two to three weeks of maceration. It matured in 600-liter oak barrels for 10 months. It has contained ripeness, 13.5%, and a balanced pH of 3.5. There is subtleness and elegance here, with lots of complexity, and it's perfumed, elegant and harmonious. There are flowers, wild herbs and some spiciness, but it's all very harmonious. I think harmony is the word for this vintage. There are abundant fine-grained, silky tannins, and there is fine acidity. This should age for a very long time, as there is great balance and harmony between all its components. 3,200 bottles were filled in September 2025.
