£205.97 (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / North Ireland
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2019 was a low-yielding year, and there was one 700-liter oak barrel of the 2019 Tumba del Rey Moro, where the wine aged slowly with a very late malolactic, which prevented me from tasting it last year when I tasted other wines from the vintage. One of the skills they have developed is the painstaking sorting of the grapes, so what goes into the vats is only perfect grapes, which often means they discard a significant amount of the crop, and in 2019, they have a very limited production of all their wines. The wine has an unusual 15.1% alcohol but very healthy acidity and freshness parameters, a pH of 3.39 and 6.74 grams of acidity (in tartaric), so the wine is very balanced but at a different point from the 2018. In warmer years, this vineyard suffers more than Rumbo and Norte, where there is a higher content of silt that helps retain freshness. 909 bottles were filled in July 2021.
