96 points Luis Gutiérrez (Wine Advocate): "[$90 listg] They shortened the élevage of the white 2021 Pedra de Guix to 11 months, and they also stopped using the 1,800-liter foudre, where the wine partially aged in the past, and now it's matured in concrete vats (diamond-shaped ones!). The wine is floral, vertical and a lot less oxidative than even the 2019, which is less oxidative than previous years. It's a different profile of wine with very good depth and freshness. Funnily enough, this 2021 has a little more alcohol than the 2019 (13.5%), but the wine feels lighter on its feet. 4,008 bottles produced. Drink: 2022+. (Sep 2022)"

95 points James Suckling: "More intensity here with a very subtle nutty edge. Pine nuts, dried pineapples, lemon peel and stones. Saline and concentrated in flavor but nothing hefty here. Fine tannins and bright acidity extend to a long, savory finish. Drink now or hold. (9/2/23)"

94 points Peñín Guide to Spanish Wine: "(33% garnacha blanca, 33% macabeo, 33% pedro ximénez). Colour: bright yellow. Nose: ripe fruit, fragrant herbs, fine lees, mineral, dry stone. Palate: full-bodied, rich, long, good acidity. (2024)"

Producer notes: "The hands-off biodynamic approach reflects the alluring taste of time and patience, a gentle velvet beauty that moves with waves of citrus, nuts and flowers across the palate. Rich, soft and ripe. The longer it is opened, the fresher it becomes in the glass, developing tension, depth, and a mouthwatering salinity expressing the soils of the region: clay, alluvial and slate. Anything but a simple pour and go, this is ultimately an expression of tradition and place."
