"Masusta red 2018 comes from an organically farmed vineyard (not certified). It was fermented to preserve the varietal character of Garnacha, and matured in neutral oak barrels for two winters to achieve a natural stabilization of the wine. It's ripe and full-bodied at 14.5% alcohol, but it's balanced and shows no excess. The oak is fully integrated, and the wine is juicy and reveals fine-grained tannins and pure flavors." (Wine Advocate 2021)
