Expert Reviews
They only produced 1,000 bottles of this, and as the year was warm and ripe (open), they decided to age the 2015 Venus de La Figuera exclusively in clay amphorae (tinaja). So, the wine has a different profile from the 2016 I tasted next to it, as the 2016 matured in oak foudre. There is a peachy note and some smoky bacon (!?), even if this is only Garnacha (the only grape in the village of La Figuera), and it has a juicy palate, with round but chalky tannins and a dry finish. This comes from very white, limestone-rich soils.
