Wines from Spain are one of the great values in today's marketplace. One can find high quality, highly-rated, modern-styled Spanish wine for under $10 or a great value from a producer that has been around for more than a century for under $20.
In Spain wine regions are administered quite a bit like they are in France and are called Denominación de Origen or "D.O." for short. Rioja and Priorat are the only Spanish wine regions that have an elevated status; Denominación de Origen Calificada (D.O.C.) and Denominación d'Origen Qualificada (D.O.Q.) respectively.
Eighty percent of the wines from Spain come from a selection of about 20 grapes, although there are at least 400 grapes grown in Spain. The most important grapes are Tempranillo, Garnacha (Grenache), Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Albariño.
RP95+95+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Sep 2022 The 2019 Laurel is quite closed and shows serious and shy. It’s made with all the grapes that are not used for Clos Erasmus—young vines, the remaining Cabernet Sauvignon (no more than 5%), mostly Garnacha and some 15% Syrah. The wine matured mostly in 2,000-liter oak vats, concrete and some barrels (she’s abandoning the tinaja). It’s 15% alcohol but has very good freshness. The wine is round and powerful but very harmonious and with good freshness. It’s medium to full-bodied and nicely textured, with abundant, glossy tannins and fantastic balance. This is both powerful and elegant. It slowly opens up in the glass to ripe berries, spice and herbs and a touch of smoke. 18,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2021. (Luis Gutiérrez)
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 Vivid ruby-red. Aromas of ripe red and dark berries, spicecake and candied flowers are complemented by a smoky mineral nuance that builds in the glass. Sappy black raspberry and cherry flavors show good depth as well as energy. Silky and appealingly sweet, finishing with sharp focus and smooth tannins that fold into the wine’s juicy fruit. Raised in stainless steel and concrete tanks. (Josh Raynolds)
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2021 Brilliant magenta. Smoke-tinged dark berries, cracked pepper and a hint of gaminess on the pungent nose. Chewy and tightly focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and boysenberry flavors that unfurl and become sweeter on the back half. Lingers with very good persistence on the finish, which features silky tannins and a strong echo of sweet blue fruit. This wine is ridiculously easy to drink and delivers really great value. (Josh Raynolds)
RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 19th Nov 2020 The 2019 La Bruja de Rozas was one of the few 2019s already bottled when I tasted the whole range in November 2020. This is a village Garnacha from Las Rozas de Puerto Real, their first approach to the grape, trying to capture the essence of the fresh fruit and the fluidity of the wine. 2019 is a ripe vintage, and the wine is a little more powerful, juicy and balanced, with rich aromas and flavors. It comes from different plots of old vines ranging from 40 to 65 years of age and planted at some 900 meters in altitude on sandy granite soils in a zone that has plenty of rain, averaging 800 liters per year. Like all of their vineyards, these plots are worked organically and biodynamically. Each vineyard fermented separately in oak vats with indigenous yeasts with a soft maceration. The wine matured in oak vats of different sizes, ranging from 1,500 to 6,000 liters. The 2019 effect seems to be quite mild here; the wine follows the profile of the 2018, despite being a little riper, and it’s still very balanced. There are notes of flowers, basil and a touch of bacon intermixed with the wild berries and herbs. There’s a little more concentration, and the tannins are a little chalkier and more austere. But there is no excess ripeness or anything out of place, and it has acidity and length and finishes dry and mineral. 41,853 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2020.
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Feb 2022 There is a big jump in quality in the 2019 O Esteiro when compared with the 2018 that I tasted next to it. There is an extra layer of texture and depth here. 2019 was a fantastic vintage for reds at this address. It’s always more or less the same blend of Mencía, Caíño and Espadeiro defined by the vineyards they use. It’s produced in a simple way and is a very good reflection of the varieties, the granite soils and the character of the vintage; this vintage is warmer, riper and more complete, with more black peppercorn. It has 11% alcohol. 2,000 bottles produced. (Luis Gutiérrez)
JD9696 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 3/22/2021 A blend of 64% Grenache, 27% Carignan and 9% Syrah, the 2019 Black Slate Gratallops Vi De Vila comes from one of the warmer regions in the Priorat. Gorgeous black raspberries, liquid violets, garrigue, chalky minerality, and hints of rose petal all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied and beautifully textured, with ultra-fine tannins and a gorgeous finish. With a liquid rock-like minerality that’s something to behold, this gorgeous, elegant wine is going to evolve for 10–12 years with no issues. (Jeb Dunnuck)
RP9494 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 29th Apr 2022 The Garnacha bottling from 2019, the 2019 El Molar, was produced with the grapes from three plots of vines planted on gravel and sandy soils covered with tosca stones planted in 2004, 2006 and 2010. 2019 was marked by torrential rains on September 13th that changed everything, but the Garnacha (and the Syrah) were harvested before the rain, so this wine is from a “normal” Mediterranean vintage. Fifty percent full clusters were used for the native fermentation in underground stone pools with a short maceration. It matured in 500-liter oak barrels and 5,000-liter oak vats for 12 months. It’s a little lower in alcohol but shows ripeness (without excess), but the core is floral, perfumed and elegant. The tannins are very fine-grained with the essence of the limestone soils, that chalky quality of the texture. Very impressive for a 2019. 26,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2020.
JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, October 14, 2021 Pretty nose of dried violets, wild raspberries, brambleberries, potpourri, cloves and pine needles. Medium-bodied with powdery tannins and a creamy texture. Nice, bitter floral and spice notes. Drink or hold.
SP9191 pts. - Wine Spectator - Oct 15, 2022 A silky red, offering an enticing, incense-laced range of raspberry puree and black plum reduction, dried lavender, iron and Earl Grey tea. Medium- to full-bodied, harmonious and fresh, with subtle hints of mocha and smoke enriching the finish. Drink now through 2029. 7,300 cases made, 3,800 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)
RP9797 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Jul 2021 The single-vineyard red 2019 Finca Dofí comes from the 14 hectares of vines planted across three parajes (lieu-dits) in Gratallops. This year, it’s 87% Garnacha, 12% Cariñena and 1% white grapes (Garnacha Blanca and Macabeo. It fermented in oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in large oak barrels (bocoyes and foudres) for 14 months. It’s classy, elegant and fresh with very clean aromas and flavors, not lacking concentration or power. There is superb definition and purity here; it has to be the finest and most elegant Dofí to date. It has finer tannins and more elegance than La Baixada this year. The 2018 was fragrant and this has more clout but superb balance. These two vintages have been great for Dofí. I still remember the 2005, hard as nails then and what the wine is now — spherical and velvety. Dofí on a roll… It was bottled in May 2021, and 21,146 bottles were produced.JS9696 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, February 3, 2022 Cracked cloves and white pepper with dark fruit and iron. Perfumed and subtle. It’s full-bodied with a vertical layer of very fine tannins that give a creamy and round texture that turns almost powdery. Flavorful finish, yet refined. Give this time to open. Try after 2023.
