Michelini i Mufatto Michelini i Mufatto En el camino 2022 750ml

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.

The 2022 En El Camino is 100% Mencia from Bierzo. The 2022 opens with pomegranate, cherry and delicate reduction, plus a touch of underbrush. Clean and fruit-focused, the 2022 offers tea-like nuances, fine-grained tannins and a broad yet delicate palate. Moderate freshness balances its 12.5% alcohol without losing energy.
