"The 2022 La Vizcaína Las Gundiñas is the palest and freshest of the 2022 reds from the La Vizcaína range, and it is the one with less alcohol (around 12.7%). It comes from the coolest plot, the best place for warm years, with more clay and deeper soils and more retention of water. To me, this outperforms the 2021. The wines always ferment, year after year, in the same vats and barrels. It fermented with 100% full clusters. There are some 8,000 bottles." -LG, 6/20/24

"The 2022 Gundiñas Lomas de Valtuille, based on Mencía with Trousseau, is fermented with whole clusters and soaked for 50 days, then aged in 10-year-old barrels. Aromas recall dried leaves, herbs and red fruits. Ripe, with a slight grip from stems, it highlights pomegranate and dark fruit flavors. It is technical, taut and expressive, with slight malic acidity. The 2022 was shaped by extended maceration and neutral oak." -JH, Feb/2025
