The symbiosis of this molecular world with the roots in a soil that has a strong calcareous component can be clearly seen in the texture of this red—in its firm, rough tannins and the chalky sensation on the palate that the calcium carbonate tends to give. The aromas are less floral than Adrianna's other single vineyards (River, Fortuna), and here's there's an earthy component that makes it more complex and intriguing. It has the acidity of a mountain wine, despite coming from a very warm year, which could have diminished its impact. But that wasn't the case. This is a malbec very much in the style of wines that come from calcareous soils, with a lot of grip, a lot of verticality. An excellent exercise and a tremendous result for a year that wasn't exactly generous in sharp or refreshing wines—the kind we at Descorchados like.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Falstaff · 2020 Vintage · Tasted: Jan 2023\u003cbr\u003e\n“Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim.

Mundus Bacillus Terrae is from a 1.4 hectare parcel rich in limestone and marine deposits. This is the most expensive in the range and also the most distinctive. It has restrained fruit, led by a savoury, earthy complexity of humus, peat, and menthol alongside macerated blackberries and dried lavender. It continually evolves in the glass and the seamless structure suggests this has at least a decade ahead of it.
