Press Review

If El Bardallo is all about ethereal grace, La Canoca is a broader and more powerful proposition... Deftly wooded, balanced and sumptuous, with chalk, black cherry and subtle vanilla spice flavours, this shows you why José Gil is one of the most exciting young winemakers in Spain right now.

- Tim Atkins

Overview

La Canoca is a tiny 0.5-hectare vineyard in the village of San Vicente. This 50-year-old parcel is planted with Tempranillo with a small percentage of Viura on silty clay and limestone soils. Half the harvest is included in José’s San Vicente village wine, while the remainder is bottled as a parcel wine.
