Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo 2022
HK$ 451.77
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of the best new Garnacha bottlings from Rioja, the 2022 Pancrudo keeps the poise, balance and floral character in a warm and dry year like 2022. It does show a little more ripeness and some dusty tannins, but that's expected after the hurried ripeness. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol, with a pH of 3.42 denoting freshness. It's a triumph over the adverse conditions of the year. This is a neoclassical Garnacha, produced by fermenting the uncrushed grapes with indigenous yeasts and a short-ish macerating and aging the wine in a combination of foudre, concrete egg and used barrique. 8,717 bottles and 250 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2024.

Description
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a red wine that has been elaborated by Bodegas Gómez Cruzado in Haro, D.O.Ca. La Rioja. It was created from the Garnacha grape variety from vineyards located at an altitude of 650 metres above sea level, on north-facing slopes in the Alto Najerilla area. There the soils are clay-ferrous, reddish in colour.
This wine is perfect as an accompaniment to poultry, foie, sausages and roasts.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in 200-kilogram bins and the bunches are selected in the winery. Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is made in the traditional way with fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for 12 months in 65% new French oak barrels and 35% in concrete eggs.
Taste
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a wine full of nuances, with a strange combination of maturity and freshness. In the mouth it is ample and well-defined, quite round, with smooth tannins and good persistence.
A classic wine with a touch of modernity
This red wine stands out from the more classic Riojas, with the touch of modernity that comes from the Garnacha. It uses the best Garnacha grapes from the Rioja area and the country.
This wine is a fluid, elegant and fresh version of a Garnacha grown in a cool climate in La Rioja. It has a lot of inner strength.
Gómez Cruzado Pancrudo is a wine where fruit aromas stand out, over a delicate mineral background. It is also delicate, complex and elegant. It has an incredible balance and a surprising combination of strength and maturity that is difficult to achieve.
