Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

2017 was the earliest harvest ever at this address, and the Tempranillo grapes for the non-sulfur cuvée 2017 Guardaviñas were picked starting September 16th. Somehow, the early harvest and accelerated ripening managed to deliver a wine with slightly lower alcohol and more acidity, but there is a sensation of ripeness and a little development, especially when compared with the superb 2016 I tasted next to it. Having said that, this 2017 is still precise and elegant within the rusticity. Only part of the wine aged in oak barrels, while the rest was kept in tanks. The palate is medium-bodied, and there is a touch of earthiness and a bitter touch on the finish. It feels like naked Tempranillo, with its rustic side and the character of the year. 2,030 bottles were filled in September 2018.
