in the Masdeu zone above the Scala Dei Monastery (not in Torroja at all

balanced and strikingly long finish

plum and sandalwood

This also flirts with the exotic but remains pure and fresh and I like the fine layering of the airy aromas of acacia blossom

This is also quite pretty with its mix of plum

Rhys, Alpine Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions in the Masdeu zone aboveThe 2018 Pinot Noir Alpine Vineyard opens with striking, floral infused aromatics that give the wine presence and structure. Savory and finely cut, with superb delineation, and tons of depth, the Alpine is positively stellar today. Layers of fruit enshroud the tannins, making them barely perceptible. The 2018 is a stunning Pinot from Alpine, a site originally planted with 17 heritage clones. Antonio Galloni
