"According to Robert Parker, this vintage has a unique character that seems to transcend both the terroir and the vintage!"

“On the nose, aromas of black cherries, lively energy, and a delicate floral note. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine displays lovely tension and an elegant expression of fruit—subtle yet flavorful—supported by fine tannins. Flavorful and delicious. From a very old vineyard, rooted in deep clay soils, located in the village of Valtuille de Abajo. Ready to drink now or for aging.” (James Suckling 2025)

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Wine rated (2025 guide) 94/100 (Outstanding wine)

About the wine:

The 2023 Vizcaína Las Gundiñas has a more herbaceous nose, derived from old vines that may contain 5% white grape varieties. It was a wet year in a humid terroir—a vineyard that retains water very well during drier years. It offers a distinct character that seems to transcend the terroir and the vintage (Raúl Pérez compared it to the 2013), and it is more aromatic. I still believe this plot performs better in drier years. 5,000 bottles produced. 2025–2031

About the wine:

Las Gundiñas 2023 is a blend of Mencía, Trousseau, and up to 10% Doña Blanca from a century-old vineyard. It was fermented using 100% whole clusters and aged for up to 11 months in oak barrels. It opens with enticing herbaceous aromas of tart cherry, with a distant note of violet and a hint of rosehip. The palate is firm and structured, with great aromatic intensity. This fresh vintage is perfectly in line with the style, and the character of the whole clusters leaves a compact, slightly austere finish that promises to blossom in the bottle. 2025–2037
