They had to source new vineyards for the 2024 La Bruja, one from El Tiemblo, as the main vineyard delivered only 9,000 kilos of grapes because of the frost (it can produce up to 30,000 kilos in a normal year). So, this is a regional Gredos red from the Cebreros part. It has more fruit and is rounder and juicier than the 2023, but it still delivers very pretty aromas of violets and wild herbs. It has a fine-boned mouthfeel with chalky tannins. It comes in at 14% alcohol, with good freshness and balance. 22,678 bottles and 242 magnums produced. It was bottled in August 2025. - Reviewed by: Luis Gutiérrez

The 2023 vintage will mark the last release of La Bruja, a wine that has gone through changing iterations, names, and sourcing since it was first made in 2008. Ending its days as an “appellation wine” from vineyards in Rozas, with the reclassification of their vineyards in this village, Dani & Fer kept the most distinctive for Rozas Village and sold off the rest.

I tasted wines from 2022 (a more Mediterranean and intense year) and 2023 (a cooler year of elegance, freshness and precision), with a perfect cool September and also rain that improved the quality of the year after a very warm August. 2022 is their last vintage of the El Reventón single-vineyard wine, when they started planting new vines and building their new winery. 2023 is the first year vinified in the brand-new winery. There will be more changes in 2024: continuing the plantation of more vines, downsizing (less regional wine and more village, mostly from purchased grapes) and developing their farm in the estate around Rumbo al Norte. In 2022, they are extending the élevage of the single-vineyard crus Iruelas, Umbrías, Rey Moro and Rumbo al Norte.

And they see the need for new projects in Gredos and to attract people to come and make wine in the region. They see it as a threat for the region. There are only 400 hectares in the DO Cebreros (42 hectares planted in the last five years, nothing in the previous 40), but only 150 produced grapes last year. The Gredos region needs to be developed.
