Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The pale, delicate and ethereal 2021 Tumba del Rey Moro feels more austere than any other vintage of this single-vineyard wine. It comes from vines at 1,100 meters above sea level on granite soils in the village of Villanueva de Ávila and has a notable absence of fruit. Instead, it's mineral and floral, with subtle herbal notes ('piparra' peppers again!). It was harvested around the 12th of October, and by that time, the grapes had had a full development of aromas and flavors. The wine finished with 14% alcohol but with gobsmacking balance and freshness. The alcohol is not noticeable, a constant across the portfolio. The nose was shy at first and took time to develop, but when it did, it was layered and complex, with more Burgundian floral notes. The palate is super austere with lots of energy, reminiscent of liquid granite, with grip and light. It's a sharp vintage of Tumba del Rey Moro. 1,712 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023.

Features

Description

Tumba del Rey Moro is an exceptional wine emerging from the Sierra de Gredos, near Madrid. This wine, crafted by Comando G, is a testament to the tenacity and passion for viticulture in challenging terroirs. The Garnacha variety dominates this wine, sourced from vines between 60 and 70 years old. These vines are located on sandy granite soils, at an impressive altitude of 1100 metres, which contributes to its unique profile.

Winemaking

The winemaking of Tumba del Rey Moro is a meticulous and environmentally friendly process, in transition to organic agriculture. Harvesting is done by hand, and fermentation is carried out with natural yeasts in open vats, followed by a maceration that lasts between 40 and 60 days. The wine is then aged for 14 months in a 14HL French oak vat.

Taste

Tumba del Rey Moro is a wine that defies expectations. Despite its pale colour, it offers an intense and extraordinarily aromatic taste experience. This wine reflects elegance and finesse, comparable to a Pinot from Burgundy or a Syrah from the Northern Rhône. The combination of granitic soils, altitude and a moderately humid microclimate results in a wine with moderate alcohol and a long growing season. Each sip reveals the complexity and depth of this wine, which has been carefully cultivated and crafted in one of the most inaccessible and challenging terroirs in Spain.
