The wine

La Diva is a veritable Grand Cru, a truly magnificent wine and the star wine from Bertrand Sourdais, a vigneron originating from the Loire who trained in some of Bordeaux’s most well-respected wineries, and one fine day came across long-forgotten lands in Soria and began to turn their grapes into exceptional wines, decidedly Burgundy in character. A serious and also delicate wine, which brings to mind Burgundy Grands Crus due to the primary character of its aromas, a floral, perfumed nose with a smoky nuance, and a palate which has the fruit’s full ripeness contrasting with a substantial freshness. There’s no doubt the price is out of the ordinary, but so is the extraordinary wine.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The 2019 La Diva, from a ripe and healthy vintage, contains some 8% white grapes that fermented with the rest of the destemmed Tempranillo in an open-top oak vat and has been in used French barriques since November 2019 (18 months). At 14.2% alcohol, this is riper than the 2018, but it doesn't show. The wine is harmonious, and in the context of the other two vintages, it maintains the elegance and poise, like this plot absorbs the effect of the vintages in a different way. It seems to be absorbing the oak with no problem whatsoever. This delivered very low yields.

Vineyards

La Diva comes from a small plot within the Valdegatiles single vineyard. Here, the sandy and chalky soils in the subsoil prevented the onslaught of phylloxera, and thanks to this La Diva is obtained from ungrafted vines. The climate at an altitude of 950 metres is harsh, but the vines withstand it, protected by small stone walls; the land is extremely poor, cultivated on a hillside, but all the effort is worthwhile when the rewards are so great.
