2023 El Reventon Cebreros El Reventon

Sourced from 80-year-old vines that are rooted in slate and quartz, vinified with what winemaker Alejandro Vigil describes as an ‘infusion-like’ maceration, the result is a beautifully delicate expression, with fine, silky tannins and layered floral aromatics alongside bright red fruit. A subtle, slate-driven minerality underpins the wine, yet it remains weightless on the finish. Elegant and refined. 94 points

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. 94? points
