Garnacha 'El Chaparral de Vega Sindoa' |
With intensity and svelte length, this Garnacha delivers pert red fruits and fresh Mediterranean herbs with a careful integration of oak spices. Tannins are abundant while succulent, bringing a light while stimulating structure to the wine all the way through its mineral finish. Best Buy |

Castellroig Sabate i Coca |
Brut Nature Reserva |
The 2023 Reserva Brut Nature was produced with a blend of Xarel.lo, Macabeu, Parellada and Chardonnay from around 30 different plots that matured in bottle, where it refermented with lees for 21 months. It comes in at 11% alcohol with a pH of 2.78, meaning lots of freshness and also notable acidity, but it only has 0.5 grams of sugar, so now it's a brut nature. It has a bright yellow color and a serious nose, nuanced and complex. It has a bone-dry but tasty palate, with abundant bubbles. 70,875 bottles produced. It was disgorged in October 2025. |

Orto Vins |
Blanc 'Orto' |
I hadn't tasted the white for a while, the current vintage of which is the 2023 Blanc d'Orto, pure Garnacha Blanca from limestone soils with one day of maceration and fermentation in stainless steel, where it matured with lees for six months. It's not a shy or light white, as it comes in at 14.06% alcohol with a pH of 3.41 and 4.7 grams of acidity. It's fruit-driven, pure, varietal, clean and fresh and has character. 1,100 bottles were filled in the spring of 2024. |

Bellmunt Vi de Vila' |
The village red 2022 Bellmunt Negre feels surprisingly fresh and agile, with notes of translucent red berries and some spiciness. It has a medium- to full bodied palate and abundant, fine-grained tannins. It's a blend of 70% Garnacha and 30% Cariñena matured for 10 months with equal parts in 3,300-liter concrete vats and 3,000-liter oak vats. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024. |

La Ciarliana |
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano |
The 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is pleasantly earthy, with flowery underbrush, sous-bois, woodland herbs and crushed cherries. It's surprisingly juicy with mineral-infused wild berry fruits and crisp mineral tones. This tapers off long with cheek-pinching tension and an attractive sweet-and-sour sensation. There's a balanced rusticity here that may not be for everyone, but adds gobs of character. |

La Ciarliana |
Rosso di Montepulciano |
The 2024 Rosso di Montepulciano is wonderfully perfumed and lifted, with rose petals, geranium and mint complementing crushed blackberries. This is juicy and fresh, with candied citrus elevating crisp wild berry fruits. It leaves subtle tinges of fine tannin and sour cherry, finishing long and full of zesty tension. |
