La Serra Negre 2023 – 94 points
I loved the ripe and decadent nose of the 2023 La Serra Negre, produced with 80% Cariñena and 20% Garnacha from a single vineyard.
It has a contained 13.5% alcohol, a medium-bodied palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins and young and primary flavors. It has austerity and depth and is serious, and I guess it's going to develop nicely in bottle. It matured in two 600-liter Austrian barrels for 12 months, including malolactic fermentation. 1,643 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025.
La Musaranya 2024 – 93 points
The 2024 La Musaranya was produced with Garnacha Blanca from three plots of older vines worked in concrete, where they achieve micro-oxygenation and depth, with intensity and purity. It has floral notes, perfumed and elegant but with restraint, 12.5% alcohol and a fresh and lightish palate with intensity of flavors. 4,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025.
La Pilosa 2023 – 93 points
The 2023 La Pilosa, produced with Garnacha Peluda, has a slightly more rustic profile, but I loved its character. It has a complex and nuanced nose, somewhere between a Garnacha and a Cariñena, with berry fruit, aromatic herbs and an earthy touch, reminiscent of tree bark. The medium-bodied palate is fine-boned, with fine tannins, good balance and contained ripeness consistent with the 13.5% alcohol it achieved. 2,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025 after 16 months in 500-liter Austrian oak barrels.
La Xalamera 2023 – 92+ points
The single-vineyard Garnacha 2023 La Xalamera has a clean, varietal and elegant profile, with red berries and flowers and a spicy twist from the nine months it spent in oak foudre (followed by another seven months in amphorae). It comes in at 14.5% alcohol, ripe but less so than the previous year I tasted (2020), finer-boned and more elegant. Only 800 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025.
La Serra Blanc 2022 – 92+ points
The 2022 La Serra Blanc, a wine that in 2023 achieved the category of single-vineyard wine, Vi de Finca, has more ripeness, aromas of dry yellow flowers and pollen, with a chalky sensation on the palate, dry and serious, with depth and balance and a bitter twist in the finish.
Llunari 2023 – 92 points
The 2023 Llunari was produced with Garnacha Blanca with skin contact (five weeks) and some biological aging under a veil of flor yeasts. It has a complex nose of yellow fruit and flowers and a spicy twist, nuanced and characterful. It achieved good ripeness and 13.5% alcohol while keeping a low pH of 3.05. 1,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.
Garnatxa Blanca 2024 – 91+ points
The clean, pale, young varietal 2024 Garnatxa Blanca has notes of waxy apples and pollen. It's a village wine from Batea with contained ripeness, 13% alcohol and a fresh palate, medium-bodied and with a chalky texture. It's serious and balanced beyond the price point. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2025.
Garnatxa Negra 2024 – 91+ points
The bright red 2024 Garnatxa Negra has a fruit-driven nose with intense aromas of red berries and a good dose of Mediterranean herbs with a honeyed twist. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins and is approachable, harmonious and easy to understand. It doesn't lack ripeness—it comes in at 14% alcohol but doesn't show any excess. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025 after four months in 5,000-liter Austrian foudres.
Trementinaire 2022 – 91+ points
The orange 2022 Trementinaire was produced with Garnacha Blanca grapes that macerated with the skins for five weeks in stainless steel before it was pressed and then aged for 24 months in 300-liter barrels with some flor. It has a more intense orange color and profile with classical notes of quince paste and yellow fruit with an earthy touch and somewhat less influence from the flor than the skins. It has abundant, slightly dusty tannins that call for food. 1,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025.
