L'avis des experts
Showing no sign of the heat and low rainfall of the torrid 2022 vintage, this is a stunning new release from Rodrigo and Asier Calvo, who are making wines of exceptional grace and precision. Foot trodden in concrete lagars, with semi carbonic maceration, it's a savoury, refined, acid-driven Tempranillo from a 2.4-hectare parcel in Gumiel de Mercado, with some subtle reduction, redcurrant and wild strawberry flavours, sculpted tannins and a textured, lingering finish. 2027-32
Such a bright wine that shows no weight. Racy and expressive, full of red cherry and plum aromas. Lots of energy, with fresh, al dente but cohesively knit tannins. There is a botanical touch, too. 13.5% alcohol only. 100% whole-cluster tempranillo from a vineyard planted in 1997. Fermented in lagars.
The 2022 Matadiablos was produced with Tempranillo from 2.5 hectares of vines planted in their village in 1997 (their youngest vineyard) with a massal selection from their family vineyards. The vineyard is located at 826 meters above sea level and is currently being converted to organic farming. It was produced like yesteryear—foot trodden and fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts in a 18th-century pool and aged in large oak vats in a 15th-century cave. It's floral and elegant, nuanced, subtle and clean, with unnoticeable oak. They managed to keep the alcohol level at 13.5%, with a pH of 3.45 and 5.1 grams of acidity; it has contained ripeness and very good freshness and harmony, with nothing pointing at a very warm and dry vintage. The flavors have purity and are very defined, and the mouthfeel is fine-boned, vibrant and tasty, with very fine and elegant tannins. It transcends the vintage. 5,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023.
