"Dried pineapple, dried herbs and a touch of melon. This is restrained, with sharp, stimulating acidity, extraordinary energy and concentration. This has appealing austerity that harmoniously combines with a deep, acid-driven finish. This is the producer's top single vineyard, planted on a northeastern-facing site in the vicinity of Alpartir. Drink now or hold."

"The 2022 El Jardín de las Iguales Garnacha was cropped from a warm and dry year, more Mediterranean and with a sensation of a little more ripeness despite the moderate 13.5% alcohol. It has notes of flowers, berries and herbs with an exotic touch of curry and celery, elegant and complex. It has a seamless palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins and very supple flavors. It has very good acidity and healthy parameters: a pH of 3.12 and 6.19 grams of acidity. I tasted the wine twice, the same bottle with a difference of 14 hours, and the wine opened up spectacularly but didn't deviate one millimeter; so, my guess is that the wine is going to age effortlessly in bottle."
