Vinos Malaparte, Le Meprise, Tempranillo, Castilla Y Leon, Spain, 2021
90% Tempranillo / 10% Syrah - 14% abv.
This is simply just excellent Tempranillo. Grown at very high elevation, (900m), this wine shows the effect of cooler nights and high-stress environment, on the intensity of the fruit concentration and balance of acidity. Soft tannins intertwine with fruit to produce a fresh finish.
Malaparte adapts its viticulture to a high-altitude vineyard, at 900 meters, on limestone soil, being respectful to both flora and fauna. To create their 2021 Le Meprise Tinto, fermentation and maceration were applied for 12 days and carried out separately for the Tempranillo and Syrah in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. Ageing in barrels for 10 months. The result is a youthful Tempranillo, and Syrah blend with a maximum fruit expression that coexists with the mineral touches provided by the Cuellar limestone soil.

All viticultural practices are carried out according to organic principles and many of the wines are natural/minimal intervention. Elisa and Ruben produce terroir-expressive wines using different techniques, including fermentation in old barriques and tinajas, traditional Spanish clay pots, or oxidative ageing in demijohns. All wines contain minimum quantities of added sulphites and since 2020, they have been working the vineyards using biodynamic preparations. They have recently joined the Triple A movement, (Agriculturalists, Artisans, Artists), formed by natural wine producers from many European countries. The winery is also part of the RAW wine community.
