Finca Malaveina is the first “single vineyard” wine produced by Perelada, and is an exciting project already getting excellent quality from very young vines. Even if I didn’t like the wine, I’d still want to have it in stock as it has such a wonderful name: Finca Malaveina literally means the estate with the lousy neighbour...
The wine itself is highly concentrated with a firm backbone of velvety tannins. Definitely one to keep an eye on, as the vines age, it can only get better.
