Rumbo al Norte, Comando G 2021

The most complete of all the wines I tasted was the 2021 Rumbo al Norte, from grapes picked the 17th of October, the same exact date as when they picked the 2018, very late. It's from their latest harvest ever, as they didn't start picking until the end of September! The nose encapsulates the character of Villanueva de Ávila with elegance, complexity and floral notes. It's bright and light, with energy and power but in the shape of a ballet dancer, gracious and energetic and with no fat at all. It has a very sharp palate, with a strong mineral sensation, with depth and pungent flavors that give it a lot of length. It's another stunning Rumbo al Norte, one of the most beautiful vineyards I know, a place with a special energy where you feel it has to make great wine. 1,333 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2023.
