The 2017 vintage, shaped by a significant late-April frost and a dry ripening period, resulted in lower yields that imparted a distinct phenolic concentration and increased mid-palate weight.\n\nThis inherent density is framed by the estate’s signature lean architecture and a persistent mineral nerve, ensuring the wine retains its characteristic tension and structural precision despite the warmth of the growing season.","brand":"David Bowler Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46438815138040,"sku":"17916","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_1955.jpg?v=1757108354"},{"product_id":"2022-frontonio-telescopico-garnacha-valdejalon","title":"2022 Frontonio, Valdejalon, Telescopico Garnacha","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOld-vine Garnacha from poor sandy soils at altitude.
