Bodegas Frontio ‘Corneo’ Juan Garcia Rosado 2020
DOZEN: $583.20 or $48.60 each
This comes from a tinly vineyard of 80yo goblet-pruned, organic Juan García planted in gravel and granitic sand at 710 metres altitude.
This is a perfumed, incredibly interesting dry pink. Woody like last year’s old red apples, and indeed a tad cider sour, it’s delicately floral, with orchard smells, apple tree leaves, madder rose, hibiscus. The palate is incredibly fresh, brimming sweet-and-sour and ending with the chalky grip of stony minerality and neat fruit acid. The long, squeaky finish follows a gentle savoury fruit heart. Never strict, it’s light and has excellent linger and sliding release despite the utter absence of fructose or fill. The memory of raspberry nothingness in the mouth; a touch of wildness, only bordering on unhinged! SCOTT WASLEY, The Spanish Acquisition
