L'avis des experts

Tim Atkin:

Now established as one of the best red wines in Rioja, El Bardallo comes from three separate
sub-parcels within the vineyard of the same name. Pairing Tempranillo, 10% Viura and a
little Garnacha Tinta, it has some clove spice from 15% whole bunches, pine and rose petal
aromas, beautifully sculpted tannins and layers of pomegranate, raspberry and red cherry.
Wonderfully complex. 2024-30

The Wine Advocate:

As with La Canoca, the 2022 El Bardallo changes from a single-vineyard to a paraje (lieu-dit) wine and includes more plots in the same place to increase the volume of wine produced. It's Tempranillo with some 10% white grapes, mostly Viura. It fermented with some whole-cluster fruit and indigenous yeasts and matured in 500- and 600-liter barrels. It's quite fruit-driven, aromatic and reminiscent of the old carbonic-fermentation reds matured in barrel, juicy and velvety, with abundant, chalky tannins and a dry finish. 3,200 bottles were filled in September 2023.
