This Spanish red wine received 92 points from the Wine Spectator in 2019. Quinta Sardonia’s viticulture respects the rhythms and principles of biodynamics, encouraging a great diversity of microorganisms and insects that influence the healthy development and expression of each grape varietal. Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously in French oak barrels, 30% of the wine was aged for 18 months in new, and 70% in first-year French oak barrels. Barrels were racked every few months and the finished wine was lightly filtered before bottling. While this red blend does not need decanting, the winemaker recommends opening it two hours before consuming. In order to fully enjoy the gradual unfolding of aromas and flavors in the glass, he recommends serving it at 59ºF, allowing the wine to open up in the glass.
