The description below comes from the retailer. Bottle details and price comparisons are listed above.

Roughly 85% Tempranillo (four different clones), with the remainder planted to Graciano, Mazuelo, Garnacha, Viura, Malvasía Riojana, Calagraño, and Juan Garcia. Sourced from San Ginés, Diego's very first parcel in Laguardia. This 0.97-hectare vineyard was planted partly around 1900 and partly around 1940 with spectacular varietal diversity. The very young red 2023 Anza San Ginés was produced with a complex field blend-two types of Tempranillo, Tinta Velasco, Juan Garcia, Maturana, Castellana Blanca (Cagazal), Viura, Graciano Antiguo (only one seed), Malvasía, Viura, Garnacha, etc.-from a plot in the Barranco de San Ginés in the village of Laguardia. It matured in two 500-liter oak barrels. It's perfumed, nuanced, clean and precise, with contained ripeness, elegant and balanced. It has a medium-bodied palate with very fine, elegant tannins. It has a moderate 13.6% alcohol and very good freshness and especially balance. It's a step up over the 2022. It matured in used 500-liter oak barrels that have always been used for this wine.
