Descripción

Elaborado con uva Syrah, este tinto es toda una institución de la denominación de origen Manchuela. Ahora vive una segunda juventud tras la llegada de Javi Revert como enólogo. Ha consiguiendo grandes críticas como la aportada por Luis Gutiérrez (The Wine Advocate) en su añada anterior, señalando que estamos ante unas de las expresiones más puras de Syrah en España.

Opinión de los críticos

The Wine Advocate:

The eponymous 2022 Finca Sandoval was produced with Syrah and 5% each Bobal and Garnacha, using the grapes from the best plots in the Casablanca paraje or lieu-dit where they have more limestone. It fermented with 50% full clusters with indigenous yeasts and matured in a 5,000-liter oak foudre. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.11 grams of acidity, quite contained for a very warm and dry year. This is the darkest of the wines I tasted this time (it doesn't have any white wines), and it has a deep nose of violets, aromatic herbs, a touch of tar and a smoky side, very Northern Rhône. It's medium to full-bodied, with chalky tannins and a dry, serious finish. This is a powerful vintage—warmer, with more structure—that is going to benefit from some more time in bottle. It's a vintage for powerful food. 6,300 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2024.
