“2018 was clearly a great vintage for Más Que Vinos, with some of the best wines they have produced since they started in 1999. That is the case for the 2018 La Plazuela, the finest Cencibel I know, complemented with 20% Garnacha Tintorera (all organic and certified), which produces a characterful wine with lovely chalky rusticity and an explosive and powerful personality at 15% alcohol. This is a wine that reflects the sun and the countryside of La Mancha like few others. Bravo! .”
