2022 Casa Rojo Enemigo Mio

The Casa Rojo Enemigo Mio is a 100% Garnacha from a single vineyard of 4 hectares at the foot of the Sierra de La Pila, just in front of the winery located in the Tierra de Murcia. The vineyard has a northern orientation and is located on a clay soil. Jumilla 2022 vintage was overall a very dry vintage, with a fairly hot summer after a dry winter and spring in La Raja. This led to significant stress on the vines and significant over-ripening of the bunches, making the timing of harvest dates important. The manual harvest of Garnacha in 12 kilo boxes therefore started very early, on August 25, and was also picked at night, so that the grapes were finally received at the winery in 24 hours in excellent health and in record time. Less fruit than usual but in perfect condition. After picking, it ferments for a long period at a temperature of 22 degrees with a malolactic fermentation in French oak foudres of 11,000 liters and then another 4 months until stabilization before bottling. By choosing the right time to pick, but also due to the altitude and northern exposure, this Enemigo Mio has a very civilized alcohol percentage of 13.5%

The Casa Rojo Enemigo Mio is a wine with a beautiful cherry red color. The nose reveals the intense notes of youth, wild red fruits and licorice, accompanied by notes of balsamic and menthol. In the background, very light notes of toasted wood, elegant, subtle, always accompanied by the fruit as the protagonist. Fresh notes of wild herbs and spices. In the mouth it is a supple wine, again very fresh and long, with a surprising acidity and pleasant tannins.
