The quality hierarchy, also consistent with the prices of the wines, is pretty clear and defined and clearly followed in a year like 2024. The finest and most complete wine is without a doubt the 2024 La Condenada, a single-vineyard wine from a 0.75-hectare plot in the Paraje Camino del Ciego in the village of Baños de Ebro. It was planted with a field blend of approximately 80% Tempranillo and the remaining 20% a mixture of Graciano, Garnacha and white Palomino Fino. Like the other wines, it fermented with indigenous yeasts and uncrushed grapes and matured in used 600-liter foudres for one year. It's serious, elegant and nuanced, with some floral notes, hints of wild herbs and berries and a subtle spicy twist. It has a medium-bodied palate with great balance and freshness, very fine tannins and superb precision, cleanliness, focus and symmetry. Like in previous years, it should develop nicely in bottle, as it has the stuffing and balance between the components to do so. 1,700 bottles were filled in November 2024.

This is a once abandoned, north facing plot on sandy soil above Sandstone sitting at 530 meters in Baños del Ebro. Planted in 1920 with Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano and Palomino Fino. Since the vineyard had been abandoned, the named it Condenado (condemned to die).
