El Reventon 2023

The 2023 El Reventón comes from the vineyard in Cebreros on slate soils that names the wine; the vineyard used to belong to Dani Landi and was produced and bottled by himself and in the last few years by Comando G. This had a similar fermentation as the rest of the single-vineyard wines: full clusters in concrete with indigenous yeasts and a long but not extractive maceration followed by aging with part in used barrels, part in stainless steel for some 10 months. There's a sensation of higher ripeness and riper fruit here, with notes of prunes, decayed violets and a touch of dark cherries. The vineyard has a nice track record, but the nose makes me hesitate a bit. 2,200 bottles and 300 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024. The recent bottling might have made it a little dizzy. Drink: 2025-2032.

From the historic El Reventón vineyard, planted between 1943-1945, this Garnacha bursts with perfumed aromas of pink grapefruit and pomegranate. Granitic energy and masses of minerality, framed by fine-grained tannins and elegant whole bunch spice: clove and pepper. 11 months aging in concrete and 500L oak brings just a touch of subtle woody spice. A vibrant, grippy, and beautifully refined Gredos red.

Aromas of underbrush, violets, and crushed stones. The palate is ethereal, with supple tannins and nervy, super-elegant fruit. Medium- to full-bodied. Sourced from a one-hectare, south- and east-facing vineyard planted between 1945 and 1947 at 960 meters in the Valle de Alberche (Cebreros). Fermented with 70% whole clusters and gentle maceration. Aged in concrete and one used oak barrel. Very tasty. Drink or hold.
