Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
My favorite wine this time was the 2021 La Danza del Viento La Isilla, the single-vineyard red from Cadalso de los Vidrios. It has an ethereal and floral personality that transcends the style of the village. It showcases the vintage with its firm tannins balanced by the tension, length and complexity of the wine. This comes from a vineyard at 860 meters above sea level on very fine sandy soils that they have been recovering since 2013; the grapes were picked in mid-September and fermented with full clusters and a 47-day maceration. It has 2% Cariñena in addition to a majority of Garnacha. The wine matured in 500-liter French oak barrels for 15 months. It has terrific tension, freshness and balance, velvety tannins and a vibrant, symmetric and crystalline finish. It has 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.25 denoting very good freshness and 5.56 grams of acidity. This is superb. Only 630 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2023.

Description
La Danza del Viento La Isilla is a crianza red wine that represents a unique expression of viticulture and oenology. Produced by the 4 Monos winery, this wine is a tribute to tradition and to the land it comes from.
Made mainly from Garnacha grapes and a small proportion of Cariñena, La Danza del Viento La Isilla is distinguished by its origin in a vineyard over 90 years old, located at an altitude of 860 metres above sea level in Cadalso de los Vidrios. This terroir, characterised by granite soils decomposed into sand, is fundamental to give the wine its unique profile.
Winemaking
Once harvested, the grapes undergo a cold maceration process with whole bunches. This technique, which includes the stems, skins and seeds, contributes to the tannic structure of the wine and accentuates its aromatic profile. Cold maceration allows a gentle extraction of colour and aromas, preserving the fresh and fruity characteristics of the grapes.
Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, i.e. yeasts found naturally on the grape skins and in the vineyard environment. This spontaneous fermentation approach is fundamental to expressing the terroir of the wine, as these native yeasts contribute unique flavours and aromas that cannot be replicated with commercial yeasts.
After fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in 300-litre French oak barrels. These carefully selected barrels are fundamental to the ageing process, as they allow the wine to evolve slowly and gradually, providing subtle wood and oxygenation notes that refine its structure and flavour. The choice of used barrels ensures that the character of the oak does not dominate the wine's profile, but complements and enhances its natural qualities.
Taste
La Danza del Viento La Isilla is a wine that enchants with its balance and delicacy. It has a heady aromatic profile, with notes of flowers, wild berries and herbs. Its bouquet is perfumed and elegant, revealing layers of complexity as it opens in the glass.
On the palate, it is notable for its very fine tannins and a texture that reflects the chalky characteristics of granite. The wine is savoury and lingering, offering a taste experience that lingers. The combination of freshness, length and a subtle touch of minerality makes it an irresistible wine, highly appreciated by connoisseurs.
