"The 2020 Supers¢nico was harvested on October 4 (later than in 2020), fermented with 100% full clusters in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in used 500-liter barrels and 2,500-liter oak foudres. The wine has similar parameters as the 2021 I tasted next to it‡13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.5 and 5.15 grams of acidity (tartaric). Despite the moderate ripeness and the similar data, there's a sensation of more ripeness here, and it's also more Mediterranean, aromatic and juicy, with fruit and perfume with notes of herbs. It's medium to full-bodied with round tannins. 8,517 bottles were filled in April 2022."

"The pale and ethereal 2022 Supersónico is a surprise that goes beyond the character of the year. It's from an old vineyard (now certified organic) at 1,030 meters in altitude on gray slate soils close to Calatayud, a cold place that delivers wines with great finesse and elegance. It fermented with 100% full clusters in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and had a long maceration, then it matured in oak foudres. It's very tasty, with berries, herbs, even bay leaf, and has tension, fine tannins and a supple, almost salty finish. This plot has some 8% to 10% Macabeo white intermixed with the Garnacha. It has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.45 and 5.55 grams of acidity. 6,918 bottles were filled in July 2024."
