"The 2019 El Terroir showed really well. It's serious, ripe without excess, with varietal Garnacha notes and integrated oak, medium to full-bodied, with 14.5% alcohol, reflecting a warm and powerful year but with balance and keeping the poise. It follows the path of harmony and elegance within the powerful style of the zone of previous vintages. 20,000 bottles produced."

"Both wines from 2018 showed very fresh and young, younger than you'd have anticipated. The 2018 El Terroir follows the path of previous vintages and is a Garnacha selection of their organic and biodynamically farmed plots (but not certified), fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrel for 18 months. It's clean and aromatic and has herbal freshness, a certain leafiness that even makes me think of Menc¡a. The oak is neatly integrated and folded into the wine, which comes through as balanced and elegant, with a Mediterranean twist that is characteristic from San Mart¡n. It has a medium to full-bodied palate with very fine, chalky tannins. 24,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in October 2022."

"Very full-on in terms of fruit on the palate. With exciting tension and real quality."
