Castro Ventosa Valtuille Cova de Raposa 2018

Valtuille La Cova de la Raposa is a single vineyard wine from one of their warmest and ripest vineyards, a pure south-facing plot that was picked harvested extra early this year (despite always being the first to be harvested). The 2018 vintage is matured exclusively in 500 liter oak casks (in the past, 225 liter barriques were primarily used for this wine). The extra freshness of the vintage, the earlier harvest and the larger casks deliver a fresher and lighter wine with lower alcohol despite being the most effervescent wine with raspberries rather than violets. The wine is refined, with well-integrated oak and no heat, and it feels light and fluid.
