  The 2022 vintage marks a rebirth for this wine. Call is Masusta 2.0.
  Masusta was Luis' first red under LMT Wines and he felt his taste had changhed and it was time for something new. He used to represent Radoux (barrel makers) and used Masusta as a way to show winemakers how to use wood properly in elaborating a wine. Masusta 1.0 used American, French and Navarra oak.
  Time changes !
  Same old vines planted between 1955-1960 that were converted from bush wines to trellis in 2010-2011, grown organically since he took over. He now ferments in stainless steel vats for about 10-12 days (indigenous yeasts) and matures the wine in old, neutral oak barrels for one year.
  The fruit expression is much more appealing, complex/multi-layered and well balanced. A vry nice example of flechy, spicy garnacha from Navarra.
