QUINCHA
CORRAL MAGNUM
DOP EL TERRERAZO • VINTAGE 2019 • 1.5L
"Greatness in double format: Quincha Corral Magnum 2019 is the definitive bet for longevity. An ideal technical vessel for the 1917 Bobal to evolve with superior harmony."
The Eternity of Centenary Bobal
Quincha Corral 2019 in Magnum format is Mustiguillo's iconic wine taken to its highest technical expression. This wine comes from selected plots planted between 1917 and 1919 in Pago El Terrerazo, where the altitude and limestone soil impart an unprecedented finesse to the Bobal variety. The 1.5-liter format is not only a collector's item but also the necessary tool for the tannins and acidity of these old vines to meld into a silky texture that only time, and slow evolution, can provide.

Appearance: Deep garnet color, dense and opaque. Maintains exceptional chromatic vibrancy thanks to the thermal and reductive protection of the Magnum format.
Nose: Calm and complex profile. Notes of ripe black fruit, graphite, licorice, and damp earth stand out, over an elegant background of cocoa, fine spices, and incense. The slow evolution in 1.5L preserves the mineral freshness.
Palate: Imposing and enveloping entry. Presents a vibrant freshness that balances its concentration. The tannins are extraordinarily polished, culminating in a saline and persistent finish that reflects the limestone soil of the pago.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it suitable for investment?
Definitely. Magnum bottles of Quincha Corral are extremely limited productions that gain value in the auction and collecting market over the years due to their rarity and superior evolutionary capacity.
How does the altitude of Terrerazo affect the wine?
At 800 masl, temperature fluctuation is high. This allows the Bobal to ripen without losing acidity, resulting in a 14.5% alc. wine that feels fresh, vibrant, and not heavy at all.
