Vallegarcía : Hipperia 2022

The serious red 2022 Hipperia was produced with a blend of 51% Cabernet Franc, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot aged in new barrels for 18 months, a blending exercise of precision with the help of French consultant Eric Boissenot in search of elegance, complexity and balance, which they reach, even though the wine hits 15% alcohol. It's a more Mediterranean vintage, and despite the élevage, the oak does not dominate the aromas or flavors. The palate is balanced, the tannins, fine-grained and elegant, and the wine is in good harmony in a more powerful style this year. 16,513 bottles were filled in June 2024.
