Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 La Cerqueta is getting more and more elegant and less earthy than the past, with more floral notes and more red fruit. The single-vineyard Garnacha is from a 75-year-old dry-farmed and head-pruned plot of 1.18 hectares at 630 meters altitude on slate soils. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and 100% full clusters that were foot trodden in concrete and had a long maceration of 81 days, and it matured in oak foudres. It has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.2 and 6.1 grams of acidity but comes through as a little riper than the La Tejera that I tasted next to it. It has a medium-bodied palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins and a slight earthiness. 3,744 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.
