This has really fine, delicate, spiced aromas, with beautifully-integrated oak notes adorning a wealth of intense yet subtle fruit character. It's incredibly supple and silky, with mouthfilling, super-soft tannins. Utterly wonderful, with truffley, foresty complex nuances emerging with time in the glass. Rare in Ribera del Duero, El Anéjon is a steeply-sloping site - so much so that it had to be terraced in order to be planted with vines, which are around 80% Tinto Fino with the remainder Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is one of the region's higher sites, at 870m elevation.

Winemaking
After an exhaustive monitoring and selection table where each grape is carefully selected. Fermentation in small French oak vats seeks to enhance the singularities of the terroir. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentations are carried out spontaneously. The wine is trans ferred to new 600-liter extra-fine grain French oak barrels by gravity.
Press Review
98/100 - A single-plot wine from the top terraces of the site from an excellent vintage, the 2021 El Anejon is powerful and truly outstanding. Tempranillo is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to an exceptional end, aged 12 months in larger French oak barrels after a triple selection of the grapes. Sharp red fruit has an underbelly of herbal earthiness beneath the fruit, while tight, refreshing acidity accentuates the mineral-driven texture. Bottled in June 2023, this might be the producer’s best wine of the vintage, which is saying a lot, as they’re all of outstanding quality. This will hit a high point in 5-7 years and keep going another 20.
