Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2020 La Danza del Viento La Isilla comes from a plot in Cadalso de los Vidrios in the lieu-dit, or paraje, that gives the wine its name, La Isilla. It is a 90+-year-old plot on very degraded granite at 860 meters in altitude, and it contains some 2% Cariñena that fermented together with the Garnacha with full clusters and had a 48-day maceration. There are more vineyard in this paraje, but this plot has finer sand and delivers wines with more finesse than the others (some are now used for the village Aguja del Fraile). The wine matured in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels for 14 months. This is ethereal and perfumed and has a rare combination of elegance, power, grip, fine tannins and a tactile sensation. They got a decent yield in 2020 (Garnacha is finicky and yields can be very irregular), and that also contributes to the balance of the wine. This is pale and aromatic, escaping the more fruit-driven character often found in Cadalso with more complexity, rockrose, resin and plants. It is nuanced, layered, elegant and very long. Delicious! 930 bottles and six magnums were filled in June 2022.

Description
La Danza del Viento La Isilla is a crianza red wine that represents a unique expression of viticulture and oenology. Produced by the 4 Monos winery, this wine is a tribute to tradition and to the land it comes from.
Made mainly from Garnacha grapes and a small proportion of Cariñena, La Danza del Viento La Isilla is distinguished by its origin in a vineyard over 90 years old, located at an altitude of 860 metres above sea level in Cadalso de los Vidrios. This terroir, characterised by granite soils decomposed into sand, is fundamental to give the wine its unique profile.
Winemaking
Once harvested, the grapes undergo a cold maceration process with whole bunches. This technique, which includes the stems, skins and seeds, contributes to the tannic structure of the wine and accentuates its aromatic profile. Cold maceration allows a gentle extraction of colour and aromas, preserving the fresh and fruity characteristics of the grapes.
Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, i.e. yeasts found naturally on the grape skins and in the vineyard environment. This spontaneous fermentation approach is fundamental to expressing the terroir of the wine, as these native yeasts contribute unique flavours and aromas that cannot be replicated with commercial yeasts.
After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in 300-litre French oak barrels. These carefully selected barrels are fundamental to the ageing process, as they allow the wine to evolve slowly and gradually, providing subtle wood and oxygenation notes that refine its structure and flavour. The choice of used barrels ensures that the character of the oak does not dominate the wine's profile, but complements and enhances its natural qualities.
Taste
La Danza del Viento La Isilla is a wine that enchants with its balance and delicacy. It has a heady aromatic profile, with notes of flowers, wild berries and herbs. Its bouquet is perfumed and elegant, revealing layers of complexity as it opens in the glass.
On the palate, it is notable for its very fine tannins and a texture that reflects the chalky characteristics of granite. The wine is savoury and lingering, offering a taste experience that lingers. The combination of freshness, length and a subtle touch of minerality makes it an irresistible wine, highly appreciated by connoisseurs.
