Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2023 Pancrudo is pure Garnacha from 80+-year-old, head-pruned vines from Badarán on red soils rich in iron at 700 meters above sea level. The uncrushed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts with a short maceration, and the wine matured in a combination of foudres, barriques and concrete eggs for one year. It's perfumed and aromatic, but it's not light or ethereal, it's structured and serious; it has integrated oak, but the thin patina of spice is there and the texture of the tannins also show it. With time, it develops some nuances of orange peel and gets more complex and interesting. It has elegance, power and ripeness, 14.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.41, with clout and abundant tannins. It's balanced and tasty, still young and with years ahead of it. If you want to open it now, it's already very pleasant, but it's better with food. 8,084 bottles and 170 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2025.

Description
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a red wine that has been elaborated by Bodegas Gómez Cruzado in Haro, D.O.Ca. La Rioja. It was created from the Garnacha grape variety from vineyards located at an altitude of 650 metres above sea level, on north-facing slopes in the Alto Najerilla area. There the soils are clay-ferrous, reddish in colour.
This wine is perfect as an accompaniment to poultry, foie, sausages and roasts.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in 200-kilogram bins and the bunches are selected in the winery. Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is made in the traditional way with fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 12 months in 65% new French oak barrels and 35% in concrete eggs.
Taste
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a wine full of nuances, with a strange combination of maturity and freshness. In the mouth it is ample and well-defined, quite round, with smooth tannins and good persistence.
A classic wine with a touch of modernity
This red wine stands out from the more classic Riojas, with the touch of modernity that comes from the Garnacha. It uses the best Garnacha grapes from the Rioja area and the country.
This wine is a fluid, elegant and fresh version of a Garnacha grown in a cool climate in La Rioja. It has a lot of inner strength.
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a wine where fruit aromas stand out, over a delicate mineral background. It is also delicate, complex and elegant. It has an incredible balance and a surprising combination of strength and maturity that is difficult to achieve.
