2015 - Reina de Los Deseos - Madrid

The single-vineyard Garnacha 2015 Reina de los Deseos shower really nicely, as some vineyards seem to be better adapted to warmer vintages, like this east facing exposure and perhaps deeper soils (and deeper roots) that help to cushion the effect of the heat. This vineyard seems to have changed since 2014, reflecting the work put in (it was recovered from 2009), and the wine was the freshest of the 2015s. 1,950 bottles were filled in February 2017.
