Robert Parker:

Vinification:

Bottled for 14 months in French oak barrels and without filtering.

Tasting note:

The 2018 Art is a little more classic and varietal than the super-floral Finca Luna Beberide, but also shows how good the 2018 was at this address. It combines textbook notes of liquorice, wild berries, plants and flowers with a deft touch of spice and smoke. It comes from very old vines and matured for 14 months in barrique, but the oak plays no part in the aromatics or flavour - it feels fully integrated and cleanly blended into the fruit. 12,500 bottles were produced. It was bottled in March 2020.

Bodega Luna Berberide:

Thirty years after Bernardo Luna started making wine, the second generation of the Luna Beberide family, led by Alejandro Luna Beberide, today only wants to follow this line of simplicity and quality, striving for excellence based on the care and respect of the vines since 1998, with the help of Mariano García , who was a winemaker at Vega Sicilia for many years and a friend of the family when they launched the first reference red wines of Luna Beberide.
