Sindicat La Figuera Sindicat La Figuera 2022 750ml

The change in 2022 Sindicat La Figuera is an earlier harvest to keep more freshness (it has 14% alcohol), but it remains a red with a short maceration and aging underground in concrete with epoxy. They have never used selected yeasts in the cooperative. This is the only wine from their portfolio (and the rest of their projects) with a fruit-driven profile, as it has a short élevage; the rest usually spend two winters in the winery. La Figuera is a cooler village with the highest altitude in Montsant, and the wine shows the freshness, even in this very warm year. It has ripe Garnacha aromas; the fruit is very different from the rest of Montsant, with more herbal notes, floral, aromatic, lighter, with a medium-bodied palate, weightless (good yields and short macerations) and very fine tannins. This is very easy to drink, a lighter and very approachable style of Montsant, closer to Gredos than Châteauneuf. 55,000 bottles were produced. It was bottled in July 2023. (Luis Gutiérrez)
