Parker: 94-96/100 - The red 2020 Baynos wants to be the expression of the soils of Baños de Ebro, where the soils are poor and rich in clay where they have small plots. For them, this wine is about aromatic depth and delicate red fruit with persistence, silky tannins, tension and freshness. It's Tempranillo and Graciano with 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.7 from organically and biodynamically farmed vineyards in the process of being certified organic. The destemmed and uncrushed grapes fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts, where it also underwent malolactic fermentation, and the wine was transferred to new and used 228-liter French oak barrels where it matured for 20 months. It's surprisingly aromatic with notes of licorice, red fruit and flowers, with structure and finesse, a serious red with fresh and fine tannins, volume, concentration and very good freshness. Balance, finesse and power. 2020 was concentrated by mildew, so I look forward to the 2021 that I sampled from barrel and which had even more freshness. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2022.

Mauro in Rioja is the fourth project of the García family, with six hectares of Viura and Tempranillo vineyards, mainly between 40 and 100 years of age, spread over nine vineyards, most of them in Baños de Ebro, and cultivated organically and with animal traction. The winery is an imposing restored traditional stone house in the village of Baños de Ebro with three floors, where all the movements of the wine are carried out by gravity. The building is pierced with underground caves, some of them from medieval times. It is located in a traditional wine cellar neighborhood that was an ancient Roman necropolis. A vestige of that past is the funerary plaque found in the cellar and dated between the second and fifth centuries. They produce one red and one white and a total of 15,000 bottles in the inaugural vintage of 2020. They harvested quite early, picking the white on September 8 and the red on September 15. It was a warm and healthy year, but the wines have freshness and balance.
