Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Aguja del Fraile is their village red from Cadalso de los Vidrios and comes from a number of vineyards (five). It contains around 5% Cariñena and fermented with full clusters and had a longer maceration of 45 days. It matured in 400- and 500-liter oak barrels and five months in a 1,780-liter foudre. It has 14% alcohol and a pH of 3.25 and is fresher and cooler than the previous year. It has contained ripeness but keeping the fruit and the juiciness, with the fine-grained tannins and the strong granite sensation from the village. There's one more plot in this 2021 from the La Isilla lieu-dit, and they believe this has improved the wine, making it narrower and finer-boned. 1,850 bottles and six magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2023.

Description
The wine 4 Monos Aguja del Fraile is a unique expression of the viticulture of the Cadalso de Los Vidrios region.

These varieties are grown on high elevation plots with sandy granite soils, which gives distinctive characteristics to the wine.
Winemaking
The winemaking of 4 Monos Aguja del Fraile is a careful, artisanal process. The grapes are harvested by hand, selecting only the best bunches. Afterwards, a cold maceration of whole bunches is carried out, followed by fermentation with wild yeasts. This process is carried out using whole bunches of grapes and lasts between 21 and 40 days, varying according to the plot. The wine is aged in 300 and 500 litre French and Austrian oak barrels for 14 to 15 months. This meticulous vinification process culminates in a light fining and bottling without filtering, thus preserving the purity and authenticity of the wine.
