2022 Payoya Negra, La Melonera, Sierras de Málaga (Ronda)

A red wine from La Melonera in Sierras de Málaga, Ronda, made from selected local red grapes. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks, with short barrel ageing for subtle structure. The vineyards sit at altitude, with cool nights and sunny days, on clay-limestone soils. It shows ripe red berries, cherry, light spice and subtle herbal notes, with a full, fruity palate, balanced acidity and soft tannins. Medium-bodied, elegant and easy to drink, with a long finish.
