Together with Catena Zapata’s renowned winemaker Alejandro Vigil—her partner at El Enemigo—and Honest Grapes club member Gearóid Lane, Adrianna purchased the revered El Reventón vineyard from cult producer Comando G. The team has since expanded with La Reina, a 7-hectare estate in San Juan de la Nava, and an historic vineyard on the San Gregorio slopes once owned by the Landi family. Perched nearly 900 metres up in the Sierra de Gredos mountains overlooking Madrid, these sites offer ideal conditions for Garnacha (Grenache). The altitude, rocky soils and cool nights producing wines of remarkable finesse, more reminiscent of Chambolle-Musigny than Châteauneuf-du-Pape. From old bush vines rooted in granitic soils, the focus is firmly on freshness, aromatic complexity and texture rather than density or sweetness, though the 2023s still carry impressive depth and intensity. These debut releases of their flagship wines have been eagerly anticipated since our tasting with Adrianna at 67 Pall Mall last year. The La Reina Cru Artesano stands out as outstanding value at just £50 a bottle.
