Rioja La Canoca Jose Gil 2024 (750ML)

96+ Points, Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2024 Paraje La Canoca was sourced from three terraces with different expositions in the higher part of the paraje in the village of San Vicente de la Sonsierra at 645 to 700 meters above sea level, all with different textures of silt, sand and clay. It's mostly Tempranillo with some white Viura, fermented with 20% full clusters in concrete with indigenous yeasts and matured in 550-liter barrels for 11 months. It has contained ripeness and 13.5% alcohol. It's a zone that produces more tannin, and the skins are thick and give the wines more volume, but the wines are stonier, showing the austerity of the higher altitude. 2,900 bottles produced." 03/26
