About this wine

Sourced from very old Garnacha vines in the village of El Real de San Vicente, Cantos del Diablo sits on decomposed granite at altitude, giving naturally low yields and striking finesse. The 2022 was fermented with indigenous yeasts, usually with some whole clusters, and matured in large, neutral foudres to keep the fruit and site character front and centre. The wine is all about lifted red fruit, citrus peel, crushed rock and herbs, with a silky but taut mouthfeel. It’s one of the most precise and vertical Garnachas coming out of Gredos today.

Tasting Note

The Wine Advocate notes that 2022 Cantos del Diablo delivers crystalline red fruit, flowers, blood orange and granite spice, with ultra-fine tannins and a long, sapid, almost saline finish – a particularly elegant release.

In the glass

Very pale ruby, almost like a dark rosé.

In the nose

Wild strawberry, blood orange zest, rose petals and crushed granite.

On the palate

Silky and weightless yet intense, with bright red fruit, fine chalky tannins and a mouth-watering, stony finish.

Vitícola Mentridana

Vitícola Mentridana is Daniel Landi’s project for old-vine Garnacha in and around El Real de San Vicente, in the Sierra de Gredos. Vines up to 70+ years old on granite and sand are farmed sustainably and vinified gently, often with whole clusters, in large foudres and concrete. Wines like Las Uvas de la Ira are lifted, savoury and finely tannic – a far cry from heavy Garnacha stereotypes.
