Description

Finca Sandoval was founded in 1998 by El Mundo editor and wine columnist Víctor de la Serna. His early influence brought this winery and the overlooked region of Manchuela to the attention of worldwide critics. Now under new ownership, Finca Sandoval is led by local businessman and wine nut Angel Garcia-Cordero and talented Valencian winemaker Javi Revert, who has been at the helm since 2019. The duo's work at this winery has resulted in vibrant, soulful wines that epitomise Spain’s modern wine scene. Javi is a once-in-a-generation talent widely credited with revitalising interest in Valencian wine. Born and raised in a grape-growing family, he is described by Luis Guitierrez (The Wine Advocate, 2022) as “one of the best young winemakers from the Mediterranean zone of Spain.” Javi brings a wealth of ambition and talent to Finca Sandoval, creating exciting, innovative wines that showcase why Manchuela deserves our attention.

Handpicked and co-fermented using indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing in 300 and 500 litre oak barrels, as well as 2500 litre foudres, for 12 months prior to bottling.

TASTING: On the nose, this wine presents aromas of blackberries, blackcurrant and floral notes. There is an elegant freshness on the palate, which is complemented by flavours of black cherries, a touch of cinnamon and velvety tannins.
