L'avis des experts
A bit of an outlier in Jumilla, not only for its variety but the style of wine. This is 100% Garnacha from a single vineyard with beautiful strawberry fruit and a touch of cola. The oak influence is minimal – the wine was fermented in open barrels and aged six months in foudres – and offers just a little structure. There is wonderful lift but the wine loses nothing in concentration. 2024 - 2027
The one red that is different is the 2023 Guarafía, produced with Garnacha grapes. It has contained alcohol despite the sensation of ripe berry fruit, aromatic herbs and cherries in liqueur. It's heady and showy, with moderate acidity, dusty tannins and a sweet sensation. It was my favorite of the lineup. It matured in a granite foudre for four to six months. 2,835 bottles were filled in April 2024. (Luis Gutiérrez)
A juicy, bright and succulent red with aromas of sour cherries, pomegranates and cinnamon. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins. Supple and crunchy with a delicious red currant character in the finish. Drink now.
Earthy roasted berries, thyme and rose petals on the nose. Broad, loose red fruit with green peppercorn spice, a soft texture and an easy, fresh finish. Drink 2025-2030
