The Wine Advocate: "My favorite red is usually the Vijariego Negro, the grape known as Sumoll in Cataluña that was cultivated in Jerez, from where it probably travelled to the Canary Islands. The 2019 Ignios Orígenes Vijariego Negro comes from the same vineyard that has been used since 2013, a vineyard planted in 2006 on sandy soils. 2019 was a challenging year here, with lots of mildew and low yields. It fermented destemmed in stainless steel and matured in used and neutral 500-liter oak barrels with lees. It's only 12% alcohol and has a low pH (3.27) with notable acidity. It has a spectacular nose with notes of flowers and herbs intermixed with ground basalt and wet pumice stone. It's very tasty and has very fine, slightly earthy tannins that make it beautifully textured. Drink now-2028." 94+ points
