Oxer Wines Manttoni 2024

The 2024 Manttoni was produced mostly with the grapes from a young co-plantation by Bastegieta's house in Laguardia, some 50% Tempranillo with a mixture of Garnacha, Mazuelo, Maturana Tinta, Graciano and around 7% white grapes, complemented with some grapes from old vines in Leza and Navaridas. It fermented foot trodden with some full clusters and indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and matured in 600-liter barrels for 10 months. He finds that more than 7% of white grapes in the blend brings dilution, but up to 7% adds finesse and freshness, making the wine textured. This has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.5 and is a little juicier. It finishes clean and tasty, with a pleasant chalky sensation with abundant tannins. It should benefit from some more time in bottle. 1,800 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2024.
