James Suckling
Reviewed May 2026Deep dark fruit combined with an appealing stony austerity as well as violets emerges with air. Medium- to full-bodied, though leaning more towards medium-bodied, with velvety dark fruit framed by focused chalky tannins. Freshness and salinity bring precision. A blend of 17% graciano with tempranillo from Ábalos sourced from vineyards between 500 and 650 meters on a combination of calcareous soils. (JGA)

Wine Advocate
The 2024 Pies Negros is a village red from Ábalos produced with Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, which seems to have given it a serious twist while keeping a core of bright carbonic aromas intermixed with deeper aromas. It has poise with an overall serious character. The destemmed but uncrushed grapes fermented with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured 90% in 500-liter barrels for one year and 10% in concrete. It has good ripeness, 14% alcohol, a pH of 3.48 and balancing acidity, coming through as fresh and serious, juicy and with fine-grained tannins. (LG)

Vinous
The 2024 Pies Negros (83% Tempranillo, 17% Graciano) comes from vineyards in Ábalos, Rioja Alavesa and was aged one year in foudre and 500L barrels. Opening on pure blackberry and raspberry fruit, the nose is accented by violet and a gentle touch of oak. On the palate, it is expressive and finely defined, juicy yet compact, with fresh chalky tension that reflects its recent bottling in November. Admirable fruit precision and real depth of flavor carry through to the finish. Bottle age will suit it beautifully. (JH)
