96 Points, Vinous (Galloni) Joaquin Hidalgo- “The 2023 Garnatxa Supersónico, from an old vineyard in Viva de la Sierra, macerates on skins for 50 days. It delivers floral notes, blood orange, violet and wild herbs, though the oak is a little prominent at present. The palate offers light grip, juicy freshness and flavorful fruit. This high-altitude red preserves fruit and expression without denying its sunlit origins, seeking to balance terroir character with stylistic intent.” Drink 2025-2043

95 Points, Parker (Luis Gutiérrez) –“ The red 2023 Supersónico comes from a single vineyard at 1,000 meters in altitude, planted with Garnacha and around 5% Macabeo, which fermented together with 100% full clusters and matured in foudres and oak casks. It has a bright ruby color and a perfumed nose that is floral and spicy, more reductive than oxidative, subtle and elegant. It has finesse—finer than Elástico—purity of flavors, some bright red berry fruit, very fine tannins and very good freshness, reflecting the higher altitude. It has energy and light. This is really good and overdelivers for the price.”

95 Points, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front) – “Cherry, poached strawberry, blood orange, nutmeg and dried herbs, roasted red capsicum, something a little earthy too, and a little rose oil. It’s medium-bodied, red fruits, spice and blood orange tang, a fine peppery feel to tannin, toasted hazelnut and earth carries on a juicy, sappy and spicy red-fruited finish of excellent length. Distinctive and very good.”
