The Fatum red wine is 80% Tempranillo and 20% Bobal, a varietal blend typical of the eastern regions of Spain. Elaborated using grapes carefully chosen for balance and acidity, and harvested at the optimal ripeness. The fruit was sourced from low yielding, 30 year old vineyards. These vines are farmed in a traditional/sustainable manner with practically no chemical input. All fruit was hand harvested and destemmed prior to a 4 day cold soak to increase aromas and color in the finished wine. The wine was then fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks.

N/Apts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2014 vintage

FOR THE 2014 VITAGE
(raised entirely in stainless steel tanks): Bright violet color. Lively redcurrant and cherry on the nose and palate, with a mineral nuance emerging as the wine opens in the glass. Conveys good depth and focus without any excess fat; a spicy note contributes back-end cut. Notes of fresh red berries and spices carry through a zesty, gently tannic finish that’s sharpened by juicy acidity.

89pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2015 vintage

FOR THE 2015 VINTAGE
(all stainless steel) Vivid red. Aromas and flavors of fresh red berries and candied flowers slowly develop a peppery nuance. Smooth and weightless in style, picking up an exotic and refreshingly bitter orange zest note on the back half. Closes silky and taut, showing good cling, no obvious tannins and a lingering suggestion of candied strawberry.
