Telmo Rodriguez Ladeiras do Xil Falcoeira a Capilla, Valdeorras, Spain 2019 Leoville Barton with subtle cedar and brackenThe red 2019 Falcoeira A Capilla comes from a healthy vintage compared with previous years. The wine achieved 13. 5% alcohol and has a pH of four (quite high), but the wine comes through as balanced and fresh. It fermented in a 3,000 liter oak vat and matured in a 2,000 liter oak foudre. This is in the process to be certified organic. It's exuberant, sunny, extrovert and Mediterranean, expressing the southern exposure and the light from the vineyard.
