Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The bottled village red 2022 Corullón was produced with grapes from around 90 different plots and had a short élevage of eight months in barrel. It is 93% Mencía, 4% Jerez (Palomino), 2.5% Alicante Bouschet and 0.5% Gran Negro bottled at 13.5% alcohol. It's floral and aromatic, but compared with the more-austere 2023, it comes through as more generous, riper and a little gentler, with more fruit but with elegance and freshness that nobody expected during the torrid summer and harvest. It keeps the freshness and poise, with fine-grained tannins. 25,392 bottles and some smaller and larger formats produced. It was bottled in August and November 2023, as they had to stop for the harvest.

Description
Corullón is a red wine made from a blend of 92% Mencía, 7% Jerez, Valenciana and 1% Alicante bouschet.
These grapes come from 50 to 90 year old vineyards from 7 plots totalling 5.62 hectares in the municipality of Corullón.
The vineyards were planted on soils of slate rocks with a thick laminar structure dating mostly from the Lower Cambrian period.
Elaboration
The grapes are harvested by hand. The vines are organically and biodynamically farmed. The grapes were partially destemmed.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in small open wooden vats with "bazuqueos". After maceration for 30 days, malolactic fermentation takes place in wooden vats. The wine is aged for 10 months in foudres and bottled unfiltered.
Taste
Corullón is a red wine that stands out for its fruity and floral aroma. On the palate, it has a fluidity, a well-textured texture and very fine tannins.
A red wine, delicate and elegant
Corullón is a wine that is the result of the combination of several factors such as the climate and the soil, which gives silkiness, freshness and minerality to the wine. In this way, the Descendientes de J. Palacios winery has managed to produce one of the most important wines in Spain.
In the gastronomic field, it is the ideal accompaniment for dishes such as suckling lamb chops, foie micuit, mushrooms and cured cheeses.
