Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The red 2020 ÀN/2 was produced with 60% Callet, 20% Mantonegro and Fogoneu and the rest a mix of other grapes—Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Garnacha—trying to keep the character of the local varieties but coming through as quite oaky after one year in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels of different ages. It's medium-bodied and has 13% alcohol and mellow acidity. It finishes with a spicy and smoky sensation.
Spanish red wine is known for being bold, heady, rustic and age-worthy, Spain is truly a one-of-a-kind wine-producing nation. A great majority of the country is hot, arid and drought-ridden, and since irrigation has only been recently introduced and (controversially) accepted, viticulture has sustained—and flourished—only through a great understanding of Spain’s particular conditions. Large spacing between vines allows each enough resources to survive and as a result, the country has the most acreage under vine compared to any other country, but is usually third in production.
Of the Spanish red wines, the most planted and respected grape variety is Tempranillo, the star of Spain’s Rioja and Ribera del Duero regions. Priorat specializes in bold red blends, Jumilla has gained global recognition for its single varietal Monastrell and Utiel-Requena has garnered recent attention for its reds made of Bobal.
