Rico-Nuevo

Jirón de Niebla Cebreros Garnacha 2018

Impressive first vintage of Jirón de Niebla by Rico Nuevo, a new exciting project in Gredos by Juan Andrés Martín and winemaker Julio Prieto of Viña Zorzal. 100% Garnacha from the cool north-facing site El Sotillo, in the village of Burgohondo (Cebreros appellation). Quite aromatic. Beautiful red fruit, floral notes and Mediterranean herbs. Fresh, mineral, great acidity. — 5 years ago

Julio Prieto is not a winemaker at Viña Zorzal unless I’m mistaken. He has consulted them on vineyard care but no winemaking.

Bodegas Juan Gil

Honoro Vera Rueda White Blend 2021

Enjoyed this white blend quite a bit! The aromas from the Sauv Blanc made my mouth water! Flavors of grapefruit, pear and minerals. — 2 years ago

Bodegas y Vinedos Ponce

P.F Manchuela Bobal 2016

Juan Antonio Ponce stands alone as the leader of the Manchuela DO and the master of the region’s indigenous Bobal grape. Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spice and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum with some floral spice, cacao and earthy accents. Medium+ finish, fine grainy tannins, ending with fruit and mineral tang. Nice value! — 5 years ago

Alvar De Dios

Camino de los Arrieros Arribes Juan Garcia Blend 2018

Such rustic and funky wine! Love it. Pale color, forest floor, red fruits, and foxy. Good acidity and saline taste, medium length. Decant it at least an hour. — 3 years ago

Alfredo Maestro (Bodegas y Viñedos Maestro Tejero)

Viña Almate Tempranillo 2019

From Castilla Y Leon, & at 14.5% abv, not something that typically attracts me. But the importer Pastor brings in great sherries, so down the rabbit hole I went. Glad I went. Pours an inky black, with integrated blackberries & cassis on nose & on palate. Fills up the mouth but in balance- like Juan Gil, does not drink big or taste out of balance. If anything, tastes more like a black fruited Chinon, especially with a fine graininess to its texture. Had with harissa chicken & quinoa. — 4 years ago
