Javi Revert Simeta 2023

I tasted the 2023 Simeta next to the 2022 vintage, still unbottled. 2023 was a cooler year, basically saved by some rain at the end of the summer. The wine had a similar vinification and élevage—100% full clusters and aging in oak vat and barrel—that's already completed, and the wine is resting in concrete. It has lower alcohol, 13.5%, a lower pH, 3.48, and higher acidity. This is obviously too young, but it's a little narrower and longer, more complete than the 2023 but, at the same time, more approachable and with better parameters. It should be bottled around March 2025. He expects to produce some 3,200 bottles of it.
