Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The red 2018 El Mondongo is a co-fermentation of the plots that give more garrigue notes to the wine, mostly old-vine Garnacha with 5% other grapes (Provechón/Bobal, Moristel, Garnacha Blanca, Miguel de Arco) from four plots in the village of Villarroya de la Sierra. It fermented with 20% full clusters in open-top stainless steel vats and matured for 15 months in a mixture of concrete and Flextank eggs. It has a Mediterranean character, with balsamic herbal notes (almost eucalyptus), with a touch of licorice, developing more spice aromas as the wine sat in the glass, nutmeg and cola nut. It has a forward personality, generous, expressive, ripe but balanced with some savoriness from the stems. The tannins have the chalky texture and a salty twist. 4,960 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2020.

Over 25 years of experience in the winemaking business were reflected in his very first bottle and ever since then the popularity of his wines has risen even further. It was back in 1990 when Norrel, with his passion for wine, started to work...
