Product Overview
Importer’s Notes“Las Iruelas is a muscular Garnacha from a plot of 70-75-year-old, head-pruned vines planted at an elevation of over 1000 meters above sea level. A mixed and sandy terroir of granite and quartz, this is the most complex soil that Dani & Fer work in the Sierra de Gredos. With beguiling floral aromas that are reminiscent of the Northern Rhône, Las Iruelas shares the same delicate fruit and delineated mineral structure characteristic of the Gredos but pitched deeper and more somber in tone.”
Varietal Composition: 100% GarnachaAppellation: Cebreros DOPAging: 16 months in a combination of concrete tanks and 500L French oak barrels
97 Points – Wine Advocate“Las Iruelas suffers less in warm years, and the 2022 Las Iruelas showed quite well. Like some other wines from 2022, it was given one extra year of aging in concrete after spending two winters in oak foudres. It has ripeness with 15% alcohol, but it doesn’t show it, and there’s no sensation of heat at all; the wine is harmonious and balanced. It reflects the slate soils from El Tiemblo, the village where the vineyard is located, and it’s less Mediterranean than other warm vintages. The vines delivered good yields, and it rained during the harvest, which made the wine finer-boned. It’s somewhere in the style of 2019, perhaps 2017 or 2015. 4,522 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2025.” -LG, 12/11/25
