Dos Dedos de Frente 2017

The 2017s have lower alcohol and more freshness than previous vintages, which is quite apparent in the 2017 Dos Dedos de Frente. It's part of the single vineyard bottlings, the ninth release from a high altitude and late ripening vineyard, El Val, two hectares in the village of Villarroya de la Sierra. For the first time, half of the grapes fermented in large open barrels and they achieved better integration of the oak. 2017 shows a very fruit forward and expressive wine, that is floral and perfumed. The palate is round with buttery tannins and has very good acidity. Really impressive. It should develop nicely in bottle. There were 4,600 bottles produced.
