The wine

La Mata is the most powerful of the Domino de ES wines, but that doesn’t stop it from being fresh and fluid and having a silky texture. It’s the one which displays a more earthy character and a certain tannic rusticity, a wine that asks for a little patience.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

Their small plot in the La Mata Valley is the only one with a streak of clay, and the bottled 2020 La Mata (which I already tasted from barrel), which comes from a generous crop, is the most powerful of the single-vineyard bottlings. It's from a 0.2-hectare plot (in the process of obtaining organic certification) that was already registered in 1904 (but is probably older) planted mostly with Tempranillo and some white Albillo and Alicante Bouschet (Garnacha Tintorera). It fermented in an oak cask with 53 days of maceration and matured in four new Burgundian barrels for 17 months. It's only 13.02% alcohol and has a pH of 3.73, and the long élevage in new barrels has made it a bit shy and austere and seems to have covered the floral character of the younger wine from when I tasted it almost one and a half years ago. These 2020s are going to require more time in bottle to show their true colors and to polish the abundant and slightly dusty tannins. 970 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2022.
