The 2021 El Reventón is the one wine from the village of Cebreros on slate soils and it has an herbal and peppery twist similar to the notes I found in the Las Iruelas from this very cold year. This has some more meaty notes more iron but no heat or Mediterranean grapes. It's a narrower more mineral expression of El Reventón very balanced with an unnoticeable 15% alcohol which meant full development of aromas and flavors in the grapes that were infused into the wine. This has to be the most elegant and precise year of El Reventón to date. In this cold vintage it's ethereal a little wider but getting close to the style of Las Iruelas. It's a little less expressive on the nose than Iruelas with a little more fruit. 2022 will be the last vintage for this wine as they sold the vineyard to the Alejandro Vigil and Catena team from Mendoza who vinified it for the first time in 2023. 1759 bottles were filled in March 2023.
