El Corralón 2020

Dark sparkling cherry red, violet reflections

On the nose, El Corallón reveals plenty of spice and vegetal notes alongside dark fruit. Juniper, black and red pepper can be found in the glass. Black olive, but also artichokes and beetroot set both Mediterranean and earthy accents. In an ethereal way, rosemary, thyme and sage strike the same note. Alongside plums, morello cherries, elderberries and mulberries are found above all. Rosehip and fig round it off successfully.

The great strength of the region is the handling of the day-night amplitudes. The dark, spicy fruit can be fully lived out. Fortunately, it experiences a crisp acidity on the other side and presents itself rather cool. This makes it compact and elegant at the same time. Despite the high alcoholic yield, nothing stands in the way of drinking pleasure. It spreads out on the palate with a lot of pressure and structure. Pleasant bitterness is combined with a slight extract sweetness to create a harmonious experience. The fruit makes an appearance similar to the nose. The earthy nuances and Mediterranean accents, whether based on vegetables or herbs, are clearly noticeable in the finish. But always in an unobtrusive, elegant way.
