2018 Bodegas Magallanes Selecion Cesar Munoz

One of the most reputed winemakers in the Ribera delivers top wines. One of the highest and coolest vineyards (1000 meters) produces a sturdy, spicy highlight and is a very affordable Ribera. The wine fermented in 8000 liter oak barrels with a gentle vinification to prevent over-extraction. It matures in French oak barrels for 20 months. The Magallanes has a sultry nose of spices, tobacco, violets and blackberries. It is a very beautiful full wine that can still mature for a number of years, otherwise the motto is certainly: Decant. The winemaker is Cesar Muñoz and he has a long experience in viticulture and has worked in France (Madiran), followed by a year at Vega Sicilia. Cesar also worked in Jerez and since 1997 he has led a team of oenologists working with vineyards in Ribera del Duero and other areas such as Costers del Segre, Aragon and Chile
