La Maldita has now turned into a Garnacha project with wines of all three colors, the original of which, a red, is already in its fourth vintage with the 2017 La Maldita. This has to be one of the first reds bottled from a challenging year. It's mostly unoaked, but a small fraction of the wine was in barrique for a couple of months. I was very surprised by the elegance of the nose of this Garnacha, with a balsamic and herbal twist, fresh with body, ripeness, deep flavors and a great mouthfeel, juicy and very pleasant. This has now grown to 225,000 bottles; they seem to have increased quantity and quality. And it's a bargain. Bravo!
