KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"Sourced from vines over 50 years old, the 2023 Sei Solo comes from Ribera del Duero and was both vinified and aged in 600-liter barrels. Delicate aromas of wild herbs, rosemary, thyme, flowers and lavender emerge alongside subtle oak, while plum and cherry define the fruit profile. It is expressive throughout. The palate is agile, with tannins that combine flexibility and reactivity; it builds both energy and depth while maintaining finesse. This feels like a new stylistic direction for Ribera del Duero, sitting between the region's leaner and more powerful expressions. A light chalky texture adds further detail. Particularly attractive for a Ribera that reaches only 13% alcohol. - Joaquin HIDALGO"

"Aromas of blue and dark fruit. Very pure, with delineated fruit, tension and focused tannins. Pure and elegant, with a succulent side. Very attractive. Drink or hold. - Jacobo García Andrade, Senior Editor."

"A round, full-bodied wine, well balanced with intense, concentrated and elevated fruit. Plenty of cherry and candied red berries with nuances of smoky meaty and sweet baking spices. Oak influence supported by fresh acidity, which invites you to keep drinking. Every sip is a joy; a very appealing wine, at once elegant and powerful. - Ines SALPICO"

"Though slightly closed at the moment, this has obvious depth, showing verticality as well as broad complexity. Full-bodied and superchalky with a peppery edge to the fresh blackberries and fine wood spices. The dusty, powerful tannins are extremely refined and dissolved—an iron fist in a velvety glove. Drink from 2026. - Zekun SHUAI, Senior Editor."

"The 2022 Sei Solo is Tinta del País from La Horra, Ribera del Duero. It was aged up to 20 months in 600-liter barrels. Blackberry, soft jam, dried flowers and oak with cedar define the nose. Orange peel, fennel and anise add detail. The palate is creamy and broad, with polished, slightly reactive tannins and elegant flow. A refined and expressive red. - Joaquín HIDALGO"

"You had to go looking for elegance in 2022" says Michael Zaccagnini, but this exceptional young winemaker managed to track it down. Made with grapes from a series of old-vine plots in La Horra, complemented by 5% from Roa, it has impressive balance and poise for the vintage with deftly integrated 47% new wood, aromas of Asian spices and fennel, serious tannins and a core of blueberry, tangerine and damson fruit. 2027-35"

"The top wine from Sei Solo just seems to get better and better, making the most of a very good vintage in 2021. Sourced from seven different parcels in La Horra, this is an elegant, refined, beautifully judged Tinto Fino from a quality-obsessed winemaker. Framed by subtle oak, it's perfumed and acid-driven with sculpted tannins and a partnership of plum, black cherry fruit and toast. 2026-40"

- Tim Atkin MW (Ribera del Duero 2024 Special Report), 97 pts

"A very fine and serious Ribera del Duero that exhibits huge depth and uncoiled complexity. The aromas of spicy toast, chalky minerals, ripe but fresh blackberries, grilled herbs and cocoa powder fade and become more transparent. Well-judged wood influence. Really concentrated, mildly plush and hedonistic. Masses of fine, powdery tannins are fully integrated and cohesively knit. This will age beautifully. 100% tempranillo. Gorgeous. High alcohol, yes, but still poised. Drink from 2027, but this will hold well for years. - Zekun SHUAI, Senior Editor."

"Picking dates were crucial in 2020, according to Michael Zaccagnini, because of rain during harvest, but he picked before the downpours. Sourced from venerable parcels in La Horra, this is a fine, detailed, elegant Tinto Fino with understated 15% new oak, refreshing acidity and flavors of cassis, redcurrant and summer berries. Drinkable now, but with good ageing potential. 2025-32"

"Vines as old as 60-90 years are used for this vibrant 100% Tempranillo. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 20 months in neutral, 600-liter big barrels, the wine is named for Bach’s six solos for violin. Dynamic and muscular, with graphite-laden, firm tannins, a chorus of black plum, blackberries, and a true “soil” component play on our heart strings. Rich, igniting the mineral soils of the region, its music is illuminating, but its sense of place is down to earth."

"Deep garnet to the eye, this wine has aromas of black cherry and cassis, with a touch of smoke. Robust tannins support slightly brambly fruit of the wood flavors alongside notes of anise, eucalyptus, dark chocolate and dried thyme. Vivid acidity makes its presence known from first sip through the vibrant finish.- Mike DeSimone"

"Sei Solo source this top red from two parcels - Barroso and Acos - in the celebrated village of La Horra, aged between 60 and 90 years' old. It's a rich, almost ferrous style with plenty of grip and concentration, understated oak sweetness from 600-litre barrels and the focus and freshness of the 2018 vintage, provided the yields were kept low, as they were here. 2023-30"

- FALSTAFF (May 2020), 96 pts

"A family project by Javier Zaccagnini, of Aalto and Ossian fame, and his son Michael. Year after year, this wine gains more delicacy without becoming lighter, with a remarkable distinctiveness, in a style that looks more for fine texture than fruitiness. Made to pass the test of time. An extremely interesting style, worth following. One of the most Burgundian Riberas. Drink 2020-2035"
