The stunning 2021 Pancrudo has a nose of violets, rose petals and translucent red berries with a twist of spice and herbs, aromatic, intoxicating, profound and intense. It has a medium-bodied, elegant palate with vibrant acidity (acid berries), pungent and persistent flavors and fine-boned tannins. It's pure Garnacha from Badarán with power and ripeness, 14.5% alcohol and full development of aromas and flavors. It is nuanced, complex and balanced. It matured in foudre and one-third of the volume in concrete egg. It has to be the finest wine I have ever tasted from Gómez Cruzado. Bravo! 8,981 bottles were filled in May 2023.

Rioja Alta. 100% Garnacha . TA 6.1 g/l, RS 1.5 g/l. Lifted and perfumed, with plenty of clean cherry and raspberry flavour – this has modern flair. Tannins are super-fine-grained. Long and very enjoyable floral finish. (FG)
