91 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
The super young and fruit-driven 2023 Garnacha was an explosion of berries and herbs, very aromatic, primary, a bit grapey, balsamic and minty, clean and expressive. It’s an unoaked red with 14% alcohol and a juicy palate with almost unnoticeable tannins, a soft texture and gentle mouthfeel, fresh and balanced, clean, delicious and easy to drink.

91 Points, James Suckling
A crunchy example of garnacha, with cranberries, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of orange rind. Medium- to full-bodied with nervy red berry character that follows through to a tight, tart finish. Bright and approachable. Vegan. Drink now or hold.

The Vivanco family has been crafting legendary wines in Rioja for generations, building a reputation that extends far beyond their acclaimed Crianzas and Gran Reservas. They’re the family behind one of the world’s most impressive wine museums and have deep roots in the region dating back to the early 20th century. When vintners of this caliber decide to focus on a single-varietal Garnacha project, it’s because they’ve identified something truly special.

Viñedos La Maldita represents exactly that – a Garnacha-only expression that showcases what this noble grape can achieve in the right hands.
